Someone reading my thoughts? Yes, although the Newsticker is only in
German language, it's worth thinking about it. The popularity of the
Heise Newsticker in Germany can be compared with SlashDot in the US
(or all over the world).

This should be adjustable (if possible). Personally, I never read the
commments as they're somhow "uninteresting" (usual OS-discussions,
insults, bla).
