The thing that made me buy mac is that it has a OS based on Unix, and programs like Photoshop and Microsoft Office (not a big OpenOffice fan yet).

FeedTree is a P2P java app that uses distributed bandwidth to push RSS feed content to users faster than traditional newsreaders that poll their feeds on a schedule. A poster describes graphically how it works … which is not to say I fully understand it. But I do understand that speed and timeliness are the payoffs here.
