Perhaps they want Google to buy them. It's not a horrible idea - they come up with a good idea, they implement it, they even have a Google-ish name, so Google buys it off of them.

I don't necessarily agree with this - it seems to me that Google has more to lose than to gain if they were to buy it. If people are finding and implementing their own RSS from the site, they're at least, in part, damaging the usefulness of news.google.com. Just my two cents.
