I second the vote for Netvibes.com. It's the only way I've found that I like to view RSS. It lets you view dozens of RSS headlines on a single page, like a news website, and you ar…
I am a student in the UK currently doing my dissertation about the iPod and I would be very greatful for your feedback through doing the following questionnaire:

Gabe over at Penny Arcade did a comparison of WoW performance on his MacBook Pro under both XP and OS X. The results?
OS X: 15 - 20 FPS
XP: 35 - 40 FPS

OpenGL and especially DirectX is more mature on the Windows platform. Infact, there are even competing driv…
