There had been some questions as to whether or not Apple would kill support for Intel's Atom chips in today's 10.6.2 release. Last week it was reported that the latest 10.6.2 builds had new kernels that wouldn't work on Atom chips.

Today we find out that Apple indeed has cut support for Atom Chips.

NetNewsWire is the most popular RSS newsreader client on the Macintosh. It isn't just my favorite; the Wall Street Journal's Walt Mossberg and many others mark it as their favorite way to read news on the Mac.

I thought it would be interesting to talk to Brent Simmons, the developer behind NetNewsWire, about the recent changes in the application and where it is heading.

Steve Jobs famously touts AppleTV as "just a hobby". –Like something they work on on weekends, sometimes. If they get around to it.
