Cool, but

    lynx "http://news.ycombinator.com"

is almost identical.

A little shell script magic gets you auto-refreshing:

    #!/bin/sh

    while true; do
        sh -c "sleep 90; pkill lynx" &
        lynx "http://news.ycombinator.com"
    done

(there's probably a better way that won't kill all your lynx sessions)
