I would try digg reader. Adina.com is an interesting entry.

I would really prefer being able to increase the font size. With age, I do not enjoy reading anything with small fonts anymore (on desktop). I have also yet to test your site on iPhone and my Android tablet.

BTW, I am a non-programmer and a type of guy who follow my own curated news (hence a proponent of RSS). Your system looks closer to my ideals.

This is pretty good. I am not a fan of any news website which does not provide RSS, but yours is where it is not needed by design.

Now, if only I can increase the font size.

I posted this one day ago and it was buried. How strange!

What about for-profit Pre-K, Montessori, etc? What about for-profit elementary, middle, high?

Everything for-profit, i.e, people don't want to use governments for their own collective good, is a downhill path for any civilization.

It's nice, but it seems it is trying to do too much. Or, it feels crowded with features.

On common, reporters. IBM has a cloud too!

Fundamental ethics are not subjective. Is murder subjective? A live human disappears from existence by force, how is that subjective? Now, murder something of that live person, say, make him handicapped by force. Is that subjective? You will now claim that it is subjective, because the person is at least alive. No. It is still not subjective. Now, take it further down the food chain. Steal something from a person. Bully him. Curse him. Make his life miserable. All subjective? Nothing is subjective here. The fundamental ethics filters down to the common ethics. If one is subjective, they are all subjective. But you will be hard pressed to prove a murder to be subjective. So, none of the ethics are subjective.

What about Bill Gates' role in popularizing desktop computers for the whole world, and mostly for free or bootlegged copies of Windows? Apple/Jobs didn't want to do that. Nobody wanted Linux in comparison.

Remove the notion of laws, and you'd arrive at the same situation. Laws are auto generated through human evolution, they are not forced in themselves.

Look at it this way: does anyone get hurt if 50 cent donut is being sought for $1? There's no Napster of donut business.

Sadly, you are incorrect, and probably in the majority. Rules of ethics are not setup by privileged few; they are the cause of civilized humanity. Without them, we wouldn't have come this far. What he did to hustle the donuts, was fair and ethical. He earned his fair share. But what he did with churning out CDs, was not. We all can possibly see that. But of course, the trade born out of Napster must have been hard to resist. The part about resisting, is where ethics reside.

Two wrongs do not make one right. Principles are only relevant when they are difficult to follow.

It's a good read, but I don't know what it is teaching. Ethics anyone?

PC has been a "router" for a long time.

This is simplicity at its best.

Hope you won't corrupt it by inserting Ads.

Thanks for the data. As another uBlock user (who does not care about the split by the way) and as someone who is not a tech-bubble elite, I can tell you with much confidence, that there is no such thing as "ordinary users" when it comes to Adblocking.

Can the maker of uBlock please set the Adblocker on iPhone/iPads free for everyone?

Don't just down-vote dammit, give me an argument if you care so much to click.

The people are being hoodwinked into buying these so-called "tablets" of smaller sizes, where as, none of these should be called tablets, rather, they are just a bigger size phones with no traditional calling features. Amazon or no Amazon, you would be wasting your time, energy and $$ if you buy a tablet with anything less than 1024x768 resolution. Just don't.

Never going to buy a 7" no matter how cheap it gets. The screen resolution is not worth it.

There are a lot of things in life which are free. Just look around. Not everyone's into making money, when they make something. I will give you an example because I was just contemplating on this the other day (I have no involvement in this). Take a look at this communication platform (1). Read up its FAQs, its TOS, its history of existence, etc. Now tell me, how and why is this free? Then reflect on your own comment about money being involved in "everything".

The Ads exist because they are selling on top of something else altogether. When the Adblockers come on board with the same goal, they defeat the purpose. I am just indicating this apparent cycle, which is fundamentally odd. I am not making a case for or against Ads or Adblockers.

There is something odd about the "business" of "selling" Adblockers.

So is it not available for anyone outside of US? Is Canada covered?

I wouldn't care about any website if it does not come with RSS. I've been using Digg Reader and it's been working flawlessly.

What's the experience like, is it worth investing time/energy in using this? I reckon that they are also suffering from the same problem, of people not being able to easily migrate from their long-standing email address(es).

There are American companies out there who do not have to worry about H1-Bs because their whole business is being run from other countries. They just shift the workload altogether, with mid managers etc, leaving only the highest of the hierarchy in the US. As a low level tech, I have been through several offshoring where I have seen the whole local departments disappear, only to reemerge in another country with new sets of people. I managed to survive for some time because they could not offshore due to some government regulations. The truth is, American companies will offshore as much as they can. They have and they will. It is a simple case of increased profits due to cost-saving.

The good operators stay long, but they are still on the edge. And there's nobody whose going to tell you how valuable those good operators are for any company's day to day operations. But again, they are not equally valued. What ultimately matters: can the Indians do the job? The answer is yes. And that's where there is cost saving.

I agree with you. I've spent few years being a mainframe monkey (support). I got out when I had the opportunity. I have seen how people in other countries are taking on this role (of being mainframe monkeys) like there's nothing else in the world. This is mainly because they are cheap labor. While at the same time, the people in the States doing the same, are on the edge of their seats with minimum wage (ask MF operators).

The high-end MF programmers are far and few. Most of them, are there in a unique position within any company (there are hardly two of the same kind within the same company). They are mostly pricks and aholes in themselves (because of their position, their ego makes them as such). But that's a side topic.

Irrespective of what we see with the collaboration in educational field, the MF jobs are just not economically appealing enough for US graduates. Indians, Brazilians and Chinese, on the other hand, have that opportunity because American companies are getting them cheap comparatively.

The people in India are cheap compared to the aging IBMers in US. The push is economical and forced. They could easily make the same push here, but it won't happen in the current environment.

it will be very disruptive for Wordpress's casual bloggers.

The second last paragraph there, is really strange! It almost sounds like as if, he'd rather people leave if they don't like it.
