I totally agree with you guys - more customizability is the way to go. Currently a) would be great for me: old-school balloon tips (as on google maps - why did you do it differently in the timeline?) and a traditional legend on the right side.
Btw. how can you turn off the internally rendered legend? I know that you can hide the annotaitons but I didn't find a way to remove the legend (and do it my own way). I don't know about the corporation between the google finance and the visualizations team but there are definitely some features that would make a nice addition to the AnnotatedTimeline (e.g. arbitrary markers not related to a data series - but I already posted this in another thread).
