Newsfeeds are the latest craze in news delivery technology. There's a bit of a format war going on right now between RSS and Atom, but the standard is leaning toward the RSS format. Anyway, a news reader is a good way to read articles from websites without actually having to be on the website, which is particularyl convenient
for sports news since it can be easily cloaked.
I bought my parents the Mistubishi Diamond 55" rear projection CRT TV. Definitely the best I've ever seen. Having a trio of 9" CRT tubes are the only way to keep up with HDTV without breaking the bank (the penalty is that it's a huge TV, not a flatscreen).
