Times: How to use your Mac like a newspaper
Saturday, May 3, 2008
Despite the internet and RSS feeds, the newspaper is not dead. Yet. Add Times to your Mac and you get RSS feeds, headlines and summaries, stuffed into a digital replica of a newspaper. Times is like reading The Times. It’s an onscreen digital version of a newspaper with all the news you want.

You’re right. Times is very intuitive and a throwback to using a newspaper, but in a contemporary way. It’s just easy, and the settings are true no-brainers. It breeds a certain familiarity and friendliness.
You’re right. It’s buggy. Times won’t even open on my PowerMac G5; just hangs there. Runs OK on my MacBook. $30? No way, until it works better, runs faster, and is less buggy.
But it’s sooooo beautiful to use. When it works.

I like it. Times is original and I enjoy the more leisurely scanning of headlines and articles. This could be the RSS of the future, if…
IF it learns to speed up. Dreadfully slow on my MacBook Pro.

I set up Times this afternoon and I can say that I like what I see. It truly is like scanning newspaper headlines, but not as efficient as my RSS newsreader. Seems a bit expensive to me considering how buggy it is. RSS newsreaders are mostly free and trouble free. Times is neither. I look forward to version 2.

Times is really attractive. It’s like having a liquid newspaper on my Mac’s screen. It changes how I view the future of news gathering on my Mac.
I’ve had it crash a couple of times, both times as I was adding a bunch of news feeds from my list. Times is a bit slow with lots of RSS feeds, but I like the idea. I won’t pay the $30 fee until the bugs are worked out and performance improves.
