    I used to use it, few years back now I should think. Looks like a completely revamped version now but boy did it get on my man-boobs!

    I stick with latest headlines in Firefox

    Doesn't really seem worth downloading an application that has to run 24/7 to give you news when you can just go straight to the website. So unless you're desperate to be 100% up to date with the news all the time then it probably just causes unnecessary slowdown.
