But what you want is just the basic RSS feed, simplicity and a clean design to help organize your feeds.

G2Reader

G2Reader is a simple and cleanly designed Web-based RSS feed reader that supports OPML uploads.

Feedly does not support OPML files, and that may be it’s one black mark because this Web-based feed reader is exceptional by almost every other measure.

The brand-new Digg Reader is technically in beta, but it looks very promising. The public beta is free, though Digg’s roadmap has on it premium features that will roll out later for a price.

Taptu

Windows 8 App Launcher

Program launchers are the best way to keep your desktop shortcuts manageable, and provide a more efficient solution for running applications rather than having your desktop cluttered with icons. The approach adopted by these programs varies for each, with some being like the OS X dock, while others working via system tray icons, launcher rings at the center of your desktop, hot corners and what not.

Download 8Stack

Developed by deviantART member LangLe, 8Stack is another application launcher designed to work with Windows 8 by taking advantage of the operating system’s Modern UI. It displays a vertical sidebar on the right side of the screen, from where you can easily launch your applications. While it’s not a perfect solution for launching each and every file or program, the app does provide quick access to popular programs, eliminating the need to enter the Start Screen in order to find and launch them. 8Stack doesn’t require any sort of installation and works out of the box. After downloading it via the link provided at the end of this post, just extract the contents of the ZIP archive to an easily accessible location. You can then create a shortcut to the program’s EXE file on your desktop for quick access.

However, It’s worth noting here that 8Stack isn’t that feature-rich nor customizable. It only allows you to launch a predefined set of popular third-party programs including Firefox, Photoshop, CCleaner and many more, (provided they are installed on your system). However, the app will still display icons of all these apps, including the ones not present on your machine. The app’s usage is pretty plain and simple; upon launching it, 8Stack displays a vertical black bar on the right edge of the screen, carrying different shortcuts under Programming, Applications and Websites sections. If you’ve used Windows Phone, it’ll look quite familiar to you, since it resembles the App list quite closely. 8Stack also lets you launch popular websites like Facebook and Bing without having to enter their URL in your web browser.

SF App Upgraded with Courier Avatar

SF Express, a Chinese well known delivery service company based in Shenzhen, China recently upgraded its app by adding more features such as courier‘s photo to enhance the security courier service and convenience.
For example, when users input the delivery information on the app, the app will send the message in advance by including courier status and some identity information (such as job number, photographs, etc.), so that it is possible to prevent “fake delivery man “when receiving packages.
Moreover, to prevent recipient address leakage, SF had previously launched “virtual address” strategy on PC, i.e instead of filling in the recipient addresses, users can use a set of numeric code as the address details, and this set of code systems can only be identified by SF, and now the “virtual address” function is also ported to mobile devices.
For selecting SF mailing address, SF app upgraded with the current popular way of “Shake it”, when users need to send parcels, they only need to shake the phone to find a nearby collection and service outlets.

Tasker for Android: Total Automation, from settings to SMS

Tasker is an automation app for Android. It’s similar to apps like on{x} and Locale, but quite frankly, those apps are toys in comparison to Tasker. The basic concept with Tasker is “if X happens, do Y,” where the ridiculous number of Xs and Ys available making it as complex as it is. An example of a relatively simple Tasker setup is “if the phone is put upside down while ringing, mute the sound,” but the sky is the limit for how complex something can be. In fact, through features such as scene (interface) creation and app exports, Tasker is capable of producing fully functional, standalone Android apps.

Learning Tasker is guaranteed to revolutionize how you use you Android device. Android and its apps, like other OSes and basically any consumer product in general, are essentially all about making compromises so that the end result works well for as many people as possible. Tasker gives you the ability to custom tailor your device the way you want it, so that you’re not forced to use some lowest common denominator product. The first part og the beginner’s guide to deal with actual Tasker functionality can be found here. An overview of all important Tasker articles on the site, including the rest of the beginner’s guide, can be found in our Tasker content portal.

In this video below you can see a nice demonstration of what Tasker can do and how powerful it is:
