I still use NetNewsWire 3.1.7. It's still the best RSS reader I've ever used. It has become more crashy as the OS updates come though, presumably as Apple keeps breaking its APIs.

Researchers at MSR can't publish everything they work on, you know. In a sense, MSR is also a patent mill. Sure they fund research and a good deal of it is published, but it's not simply out of the goodness of their hearts.
