Listen to your news feeds with Noodle Reader
Pfft,
"reading" is sooo 1990's. Check out Noodle Reader from
Sonic Amigos. With it, you can listen to any number of animated "talking heads" read your news feeds to you.
Select the character you want (or create your own), the background and the voice. At first you're limited to the
built-in Apple voices, which are pretty robotic, but Noodle Reader is compatible with system voices produced by Cepstral, which are much more realistic. You can even create a sort of "news
show" featuring headlines from several sources and several news anchors. Sure, it's kind of gimmicky, but still
fun.Noodle Reader requires Mac OS 10.3 or later and a single license will run you $20US.

Those Cepstral voices are cool! (definitely not monotone)

Is there a Annoying Paperclip(tm) character? ;-)

Clever, but if I want a talking head to deliver my news in a monotone, I'll watch TV.
