Doesn’t seem to work through a firewall.

Works just fine through my triple firewall (two hardware firewalls, and the MacOS X firewall).

Clicking on just about anything on the widget, except the buttons on the very top, will drive you to their web site. Well, i suppose it doesn’t do them any good if you don’t visit their site, eh?

Problem is with my corporate firewall which needs a password. Other widgets work, but this one doesn’t

What on earth are those double underline links about??? You can hardly read the article with those lame popup floating things obscuring the text!!

Are you making that much money off your readers by annoying them?
