    Is it actually usable now? Even on 100 Mbps the video player has to buffer multiple times just to watch a minute and a half long trailer. I usually give up and find the trailer on YouTube.

    These are good improvements, but I still wish they would implement an expanded width theater mode for desktop. The default player size kind of sucks, and full screen isn't always a desirable alternative.
