Google Finally Moves Toward RSS Standard

declan writes "My News.com colleague Evan Hansen just got his hands on an internal email thread revealing that Google is planning to embrace RSS. Evan's co-authored News.com article quotes from the email (sent to Sergey Brin, Larry Page, and Eric Schmidt) confirming that Google is rethinking only supporting Atom. Slashdot covered Google's purchase of Pyra Labs and Blogger.com/Blogspot.com last year that made it a fan of the Atom standard. Does this news mean that RSS is now viewed as out of Dave Winer's control? Will RSS and Atom finally converge?"

    There must have been some heavy thought process that went into this decision. Google has a lot of power with its choices anymore, and by supporting these endeavors is almost like guarantee its success.

    Now if only I can get my new website to be at the top of a search...

  3. GNAA Reveals Wil Wheaton's Sick Secret by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    rolloffle - London branch of GNAA For immediate release.

    We all know that washed up child stars tend to have no sense of morality - it's a fact. In retrospect, why should we be surprised when former Star Trek star Wil Wheaton was caught in the process of digging up Ray Charles' shrivelled nigger body for his own perverse gratification?

    Perhaps the pressure of fame and fortune as a child has warped his mind; maybe his wife and young boys are not enough to satisfy his sick, rastapedic impulses. Whatever the "reason" for Wheaton's deranged attempt to elope with a deceased soul singer, his behaviour is absolutely inexcusable.

    But this isn't all, dear readers. Police who arrived on the scene of the necrophiliac Wheaton's crude single-spaded exhumation of Charles were disgusted to discover the decomposing corpse of the honourable Ronald Reagan placed in a rusty wheelbarrow. Wheaton later confessed that he planned to "dump" his new acquisition on top.

    Wheaton then intended to trundle the wheelbarrow as quickly as possible to his waiting car before emptying its contents and the spade into the boot. He allotted approximately two hours of time to speed back to his home to enjoy intimate relations with Reagan and Charles before their pong became too overpowering. He allegedly finds this a turn-off.

    To compound this spectacular error of judgement, the person who caught Wheaton in the middle of fulfilling his fuck fantasy was his three year old son, Ryan. Ryan entered the living room where Wheaton was enjoying an undisclosed DVD and the two corpses; he had been made suspicious by the smell of shrivelled nigger carcass permeating the family home.

    At this point of the sordid tale the GNAA enters the sequence of events. Outraged by the violation of both our eldest and highly respected member and the greatest president the greatest country on this planet has ever known, a storming of the two-storey Wheaton house was organised and carried out in the nick of time. For the washed-up Stand By Me actor had turned on his toddling child and was preparing to silence him with his tumescent honkey phallus.

    Nigger Stormtrooper BoneTap fired several bullets into Wheaton's head and chest, sending him sprawling to the semen-stained living room floor where he died instantly. His last words were reportedly a weedy "Fark!". At a press conference several hours later, GNAA spokesperson Popeye Washington was dismissive of the work, simply stating, "Wheaton was a menace who had to be stopped. We did what needed to be done. We're not heroes. We just believe strongly in consensual nigsex.".

    The whereabouts of Reagan and Charles are currently unknown.
