| Walk though of one approach to creating/customizing an annoying/streaming application for newsfeeds[0] using python. Each article/groups of articles can be placed in it's own pop-up window[1] (perhaps with maximum number of open windows, window lifefime timer[2], and/or article time/date range to avoid opening up 30,000 HN news article windows). Near endless interruptions can be created by converting text to audio with audio output directly to speaker headphones[3]. Bundle it all together as stand alone application [4] & remove python in order to have more resources for open HN article windows. :-) --------- [0] : http://github.com/pubnub/easy-hacker-news-stream [1] : python pop-up windows : http://popupsmart.com/blog/python-popup [2] : python window timer : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/19247268/pop-up-a-window...
