Bug Description

Instead of date formats like "2011-10-28 10:55:52" we should use human-readable dates like "Today at 10:55 AM", "Yesterday at 3:03 PM", or "December 31st, 1969 at 4:00 PM" by default. This gives the app a much more friendly feel for the average user and geeks can always change it to something more technical later

I agree with Daniel for the most part, though I'd like to suggest using the system settings (for example, I use 24hr time and a dd-mm-yy date format), for a consistent approach.

Hm, for some reason on fresh Freya I'm seeing "locale" instead of "informal"
