RSS Feeds and Computer of Choice

Hello folks,

I'm curious who uses RSS feeds for news updates and what computers and OSes do people here use? Personally, I use both PCs and Macs and use WIndows 7, OS X, Linux, and OpenBSD OSes.

My subscribed RSS feeds are:
NPR
Science Daily
Scientific American
MIT Technology Review
The Economist
NY Times Opinion
NY Times Science
Reason.com
Real Climate
Chemical and Engineering News
Physics World
Medical News Today
Nature News: Biotechnology
Nature News: Cell Molecular Biology

I'm looking for any suggestions for favorite news feeds dealing either with science and engineering, music, politics, economics. Thanks in advance. Perhaps, we can find new sources of information. For instance, I didn't listen or read NPR until Finnbow suggested it in a post.

You need to add a feed from www.theonion.com to balance out all that hard news.

I don't subscribe to any news feeds. But, I do listen to NPR Radio and catch CNN or read the local rag on my lunch breaks.
