    I haven't been this irked for a while (perhaps since I saw that movie pretending to be the second Matrix movie). Powering down Google Reader[^] Any recommendations for a replacement? Needs to run on at least both Mac and PC, with syncing.

    I've never used an RSS reader, and I have to confess that I don't even know what RSS stands for. (Don't tell me; I like having little mysteries in my life)

    I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

      I can foresee a whole new wave of RSS alternatives coming up now... ... ... or maybe not... :doh:

        Me too (or is it neither). To me it stands for Repeatedly Shit Stories.

                I'm already using Zite on my iPad (I prefer it over Flipboard), but it's hardly a replacement.

                  I know. I use reader too, for now. But I figure I'd throw that out there. Haven't tried Zite. Why do you prefer it over FlipBoard?

                    It seems to learn better what types of articles I actually end up reading. I have it pointing at a number of fairly broad categories (Programming, Web Design, etc.), and I find that many of the items it throws in "Top Stories" actually are stuff that I would have read, but might not have found otherwise. I never felt that way when I was trying out Flipboard. Maybe I just need to try it again and see if it's the same as I remember.

                      That's how I feel about FlipBoard. I guess it's all in what you repeatedly use.
