in Decision 07: (more…) vs. More on Oracle AppsLab
I dislike having to click more in a feed (and usually won't), but I understand its usefulness with respect to a blog home page. Fortunately, WordPress has a nice solution: the_excerpt();
For each post, you can add an excerpt that summarizes the post. On the home template, call the_excerpt(); instead of the_content();
You'll have to take the time when posting to add an excerpt, but it keeps the front page tidy while not annoying your feed readers. Some WordPress users use the_excerpt for the top portion of their posts and then call both functions in their templates so that they don't duplicate data. Just be sure to modify your feed-rss2.php, feed-atom.php files in /wp-includes if you do that.

Though I guess one could argue that the Mac OS X core is a bit timid because it shuts itself off to the world when it perceives a threat. :-\
Still, the only open aspect about Windows is its flaws.

in What Applications? on Dave Morin's Blog
I have 10 applications in my dock. I agree with your observation that the number of desktop applications is diminishing. Mail, iCal, and NetNewsWire are the only applications remaining in my dock that could be made into a web application.
Honestly, I've tried many webmail interfaces and even G-Mail doesn't cut it as a replacement for Mail's highly intuitive and responsive UI. Accidentally hit the back button and watch it freeze in Safari. For my calendars, display and editing could be put online, but the browser limits functions like syncing with my iPod and/or cell phone.
If anything, I believe that web applications will be a counterpart -- not a replacement -- for desktop applications. In the more single task oriented areas, I've noticed a shift to the use of applications that are just interfaces to web-backends. I think that these instances will decrease with the introduction of Macromedia Flex and other rich UI platforms.
Also worth considering is how the importance of open formats increases with various interfaces manipulating the same data.
