Angelina Jolie among programs

Geeks, probably, can be divided into two types - those who use the RSS-by online aggregators, and those who prefer a desktop client. I have long enjoyed the usual software and switched to Google Reader relatively recently, when there was a normal high-speed Internet (1.5 Mbit / s). But many still prefer the off-line applications. That is for them most likely will approach NewsFire. development the author calls his program "Angelina Jolie among programs» (The 'Angelina Jolie of applications'). And then it does not help but get to know this RSS-client?
NewsFire interface is really beautiful. Nothing of the kind of convenience and beauty for Windows was not and is not. As for the Mac-platform, some developers were clearly inspired NewsFire. Anyway, it seemed to me that the author NewsLife in the course of the mind is kept NewsFire.
NewsFire - shareware. Unlike shareware counterparts there is no trial period - a developer has introduced restrictions the number of subscriptions - no more than 15 (but remember that there are services for associations RSS-streams). Another disadvantage trial - constantly appears asking you to activate the program.
One of the main disadvantages of offline customers for me - it's wild brakes with a large number of subscriptions and downloaded news. In this respect, NewsFire exception. I've been using the program for about 3 weeks, subscribed to several tens of frequently updated streams (such as Engadget and BoingBoing), but the brakes have not yet felt.
In NewsFire has almost all the features that are inherent in analogue - the ability to import and export subscriptions OPML-file, grouping by folders (including on "smart" folders, which is a permanent folder search). You can subscribe to podcasts, watch video.
One of the coolest features NewsFire, in my opinion, is the instant search. Once you start typing some text, the results will appear immediately.
You can also select a blog integration with clients and the ability to save links to Del.icio.us.
But there NewsFire and a number of serious shortcomings. The biggest disadvantage - the lack of built-in browser. As a result of having to open links in Safari.
Another limitation - the inability to read RSS-feeds, password-protected. By the way, many of these tapes. It may be "podzamochnye» (Friends Only) entries in the "Live Journal" paid subscriptions by type of Daring Fireball (until recently).
Here's a she - Angelina Jolie from the world of software :)
