Opinion... displaying time
Sunday, May 4, 2008 
Let's say someone is playing some piece of music (say a really long track), and as a developer you want to convey the present time of total time to them. Which is better:
0:09:36 / 1:30:11
or
9:36 / 1:30:11
And change the present time marker to add a digit when needed? You see, then the time display actually shifts in position because of an added digit, but maybe that's the most inviting way of displaying it?
