what is rss?

What is RSS? - Lockergnome's RSS Resource I enjoyed this happy, though slightly flippantly ended response to the common question "What is RSS?" I hope it becomes just "Subscribe" as a link on pages, and that proper RSS handling happens soon. On my Mac, clicking on an RSS feed in Safari drops me into my separate aggregator (NetNewsWire Lite) and opens the Add New Feed dialog with the link in it. Now if someon could point out to me what the MyYahoo! RSS module is, and how I can use it, I'd be obliged to go back to that site instead of directly into Yahoo! Mail everyday.

sad fate

“Our legendary personalities are evergreen ‘brands’ with the benefit of worldwide recognition,” reads a message on the Richman agency’s website. Guardian UK Article *vomits* Where is the line drawn between “public figure” and “celebrity”? How can a dead person have an agent, particulary where there are no specific works concerned other than a sense of character? It’s one thing to insist that Duck Soup is a work that should be protected (which any more simply means controlled by whomever has the most buX0rs), but shouldn’t personalities and such pass into the public domain as well?
