Recently active problems in Google tagged with scroll

Don't know if this affects a standard mouse but scrolling with the touch pad on my Vaio is far too fast.
It's so uncontrollable I have now resorted to scrolling with the side bar, how 1980's is that.

Accepting this one problem Chrome is good. I like the stripped down design intent and it's noticeably faster than FF3.

Device manager lists the touch pad as Alps Electric.

I hope GOOG can give us an update quickly that will resolve this issue although it is kind of hard to believe it wasn't noticed before release.

When I google it, plenty seem to experience the touch pad only scrolling in one direction, down not up. I haven't experienced this but the too fast issue is also mentioned.

When viewing posts with large images (or in fact anything that forces the post to be rendered wider than the viewing area in google reader), the iframe's scrollbars are way down at the bottom, and you have to scroll down to the bottom of the post to get to the horizontal scrollbar, before you can scroll across, and back up to the top, to view the other piece of the post.

As an example, view the Diesel Sweeties RSS feed:

Scroll down to the post for April 6, 2008 - it is very difficult to view the entire comic without scrolling up and down and left and right.

I appreciate that putting posts in an iframe means you're a lot safer from cross-site scripting attacks and so on, and that this constrains what you can do with the post, but is there not some way to make large images draggable, or scrollable with the keyboard?
