Microsoft To Extend RSS

Joshua53077 writes "Microsoft announced today a plan to 'extend the RSS standard to better support the publishing of ordered lists of information...' This feature will be included in Longhorn. It appears as though they will be including RSS support in Internet Explorer, which will come over a year and a half after the same technology was introduced in Apple's Safari RSS." From the article: "Gary Schare, director of strategic product management in the Windows division of Microsoft, says that while RSS is a reliable standard for updating information in message form, it currently has no logical way to organize that information in a way that could help subscribers keep track of what is being fed to them."

    I'm just watching Run Silent, Run Deep (1958). It's starring the two greatest homosexual actors of that era: Clark Gable and Burt Lancaster. Imagine what kind double lives those guys had to be living. Kissing women (could you go on kissing guys for a living?), fake marriages, pretending to be such hot studs and still cruise the queer joints of the time in search of companionship. Poor bastards.

    Fortunately it's so much better these days... or at least it used to be before the religious right appeasing fascists in the White House.
