I would enjoy writing a long article about how polishing applications is probably what makes the difference between a decent application and a great application, but I just really wanted to blog about this one feature on Google Reader.

Whenever I read XKCD, there is this nasty bug in firefox which cuts off the title. If you read it in Google Reader though, it appears that google reader shows the full title. I’m pretty sure that Google has made a custom title box for this purpose (maybe it’s not a firefox-exclusive bug). Polish like this is something that you normally don’t see in applications, but which just give a much better experience.
