Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

smonster - and everyone else - Apple was WONDERFUL. I went into the store and expected that the "genius" would run a diagnostic, tell me there was nothing wrong, and send me on my way. I was wrong (someone being wrong in real life as well as on the internet!) - he checked it, said there was no sign of software problems (my heart sinking) BUT that the failure of the touch screen was something that did happen and gave me a BRAND-NEW iPad mini! backed up the old one, restored everything to the new one, and sent me on my way. Happy!

So far, so good.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Oh, yay Apple!

YAY! Toddson. Have you had a chance to work with the new one?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I know we've discussed Google Reader alternatives before, but do folks have opinions on alternatives after using them for a while?

Yes, I've put off switching to a different RSS reader until now.

I've been very happy with the Old Reader. Feedly was way buggy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Feedbin is working well for me, but it's not free.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

BUT that the failure of the touch screen was something that did happen and gave me a BRAND-NEW iPad mini! backed up the old one, restored everything to the new one, and sent me on my way. Happy

Yay Apple! And yay you! (I hope.)

I'm liking feedly pretty well, it's both an app and a website.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I love the feedly app, the website, not so much, but I am mostly on the iphone now anyway.

Jessica, was it their app, website or both that were buggy?

Does the feedly app work well on an iPad? It says it's compatible with the iPad and optimized for the iPhone 5.

Nowadays I do almost all my RSS reading on my iPad, so I'd either need a good app for that or a website that works well on the iPad.

Old Reader sez:

Do you have a mobile app?
Not yet, but as we had promised earlier, we started working on it when our user count reached 5000 in October 2012. Even now our standard interface adapts nicely to mobile devices.

So that may be adequate for me.
