Comment Re:Slashdot rss still works (Score 1) 49

I was unhappy when Apple killed native RSS support in Safari years ago (I much preferred Safari's RSS reader to the native reader in Firefox). I still have dozens of feeds that I monitor through feedly.com on Safari (in fact, that's how I found this story).

Whatever reasons Apple may have for moving away from RSS, it isn't a big deal to find a workaround.

Comment Re:Apple Just Released an Update to Address This (Score 2) 31

The summary didn't have a link to the update and the FA had the update information several paragraphs down from the top. I just wanted to highlight the fact that an update was out there and link to a short announcement that had the relevant information. I did not offer any commentary or complaint as to bias or quality re: the summary.

In the UK for example, the death rate from car accidents was 5.4 per 100,000 population, while in the US it was 14.3 per 100,000 population

Last I checked, miles driven was the largest factor in determining frequency of accidents. In the US we drive more on average than the Brits. If you check the number of deaths per billion vehicle kilometers, the numbers get much closer: 9.3 for the UK and 10.7 for the US.
