Fullscreen acceptance
Fullscreen acceptance: Just a small observation here, while reading up on Yahoo's new video interface... that little "fullscreen" button is now a commonly-accepted bit of computer video UI. It has crept into so many applications that it would now seem strange if an interface did not include the ability to toss all the browser chrome and use the whole display surface. Yet it was only fifteen months ago that the capability was introduced. From the startling to the taken-for-granted in about a year... amazing.

I don't know why we don't see more of it's option available as a right-click option. I'd like to see that more.

I tried the link and pressed the fullscreen button there -- and it blew up with a stack trace!

I'd love to use fullscreen more often but having the keyboard disabled is a show stopper for many applications. We cannot even add a simple chat interface to a video... I know Adobe needs to prevent phishing and so on but I hope they can find another way to do so. We need keyboard support in fullscreen mode.
