By the time Marine Staff Sgt. Jamie Walton went to trial on rape charges, his accuser had changed her story several times.

Alternatives to Google Reader? Don't Bother, You're Not Going Anywhere...
Today Google Reader became the latest Google product to have Plus added to it. Now Google Reader users can +1 or share items to Google Plus, from within Reader. Google has made very clear over the past month that Plus will be integrated into all of Google's products over time, so this wasn't a surprising move. However, rather predictably, there has been a user backlash anyway. Writing on his G+ profile, Google Plus Marketing Manager and long-time RSS expert Louis Gray tried to assure everyone that they have choices: "We know that for some people, the changes to Reader will make you think differently about the product, and this may make you seek alternatives." But are there in fact any viable alternatives to Google Reader?I believe that comment was a little disingenuous from Gray, because he knows that Google dominates what's left of the RSS Reader market. There are always alternatives, but the reality is that relatively few people will use them. What's more, most of the alternatives rely on Google Reader for content.
