Sure, there are times when it interrupts a movie or something, but that's the purpose! Set it to the RSS feeds you love and it'll never get boring or old.

Great news reader. You can add whatever news service you want by entering their web address! I have tmz, drudge report, espn, bbc, tech meme, and cnn installed. Each "news" organizations headlines run for 10 secs on the 1/2 and every hour with updated and current headlines. Great for keeping current. Also just hit the enter button on a headline and it brings you to that story in the Chrome browser.
