Times is an RSS reader for Mac OS X, but it isn't just that. Times brings the look of a newspaper right to your desktop. With a customizable layout that's easy to use, you can make your newspaper look exactly how you want it to. Acrylic, Times' developer, has taken their time creating something that looks great and is full featured. But most of all, it's easy to use.

Now, Let's get into Times' features. Times uses an easy drag and drop interface with popular RSS sites that you can choose from. There are three definitive sections in Times but adding more is always an option. You can also add your favorite website if you choose by simply clicking the add button(+) and typing an RSS supported URL. Also, there are different sections to choose from including the preset ones; World, Technology, Science,Entertainment, and Sports. Again, you are able to add, delete, rename, and move preset sections. There is also a desk that you can have pull up where you can store interesting articles for later viewing. The icon in the dock also bounces when new articles are available and also makes a notification sound. You can even use Times for your Twitter (I love Twitter)!

Times is a unique and innovative newsreader for Mac OS X Leopard. By rethinking the way you read news, we've engineered the best possible news experience straight from the ground up.

Instead of treating news like email (as most RSS readers do), Times presents you with headlines and photos from a variety of sources all in one place, letting you more easily discover the news you want to read. Like your own personal newspaper, you can put feeds into separate areas, create pages for different subjects, and more.

For a final judgement I give Times a 4 out of 5 because personally, I'm not a fan of the RSS reader and would rather go to the site itself. The reason I rated it so high is because of its beauty and simplicity. Times costs $30 and is available here.
