Four RSS Aggregators for Mac ;)

DrunkenBatman interviewed the developer's of the Four news aggregators for Mac (RSS for Mac OS X Roundtable) back in October 2004 before Tiger was released. Among the topics of conversation: Safari RSS. To which PulpFictions's Erik J. Barzeski responds: "Many aggregators are available in "Lite" versions, and Safari RSS lacks many of the features found in those freeware aggregators. It offers in-browser support for RSS feeds, but us smaller developers have a large lead."

Here, here brother. Safari RSS is a neat idea, but poorly implemented with very little in the way of features.

The FCC's Broadcast Flag, brought to you by the MPAA

"You're out there in the whole world, regulating. Are washing machines next?" asked Judge Harry Edwards. Quipped Judge David Sentelle: "You can't regulate washing machines. You can't rule the world."

According to the appellate judges who ruled against the Broadcast flag, the FCC is overstepping it's bounds. I love it. Just imagine if we didn't have an independant judicial branch. Crap like the Broadcast flag would be forced on us by a confused executive and legislative branche who is finding it more and more difficult to keep up with technology. This just proves the legitimacy of the Judical branch. Bravo. Of course, as CNET reports - congress will likely force this on us anyway. Sigh.
