    ... I'd prefer it if they went with Safari's blue rectangle with "RSS" written in white on it.

    The "cone of spherically propagating waves" design is so overused (and mostly associated with wireless networking) and has nothing to do with RSS feeds to me.

    Maybe MS got tired of copying Apple and decided to Think Different for once ;-)
