rss
I'm trying to subscribe to an Apple RSS feed.
Thunderbird keeps telling me that Apple RSS feed URLs are invalid.
For example, I can't subscribe to feed://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss
Can I fix this problem, or is it just a problem with Apple's feeds?
NewsRack is pretty solid, with a simple clean interface, and the ability to add feeds directly int he app- no Google reader required.
I use Reeder now, which I think has a nicer, slicker interface, but Reeder requires Google sync - you can't add feeds directly in the app. Before that, I was very happy with NewsRack.
I suggest you try out a native app (such as Reeder) with support for sharing through various services and which will eventually get support for Google+. Until then, perhaps a bookmarklet for Safari will do? See here.

Try using http://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss instead of feed://images.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss.
