I just noticed that Apple.com home page have an AJAX Ticker with their latest Hot news updated regulary via RSS, an interesting implementation of an AJAX RSS reader with a very nice fade effect. The script is hardcoded and not using any library, but I only noticed that the AJAXrequest method is using two headers X-Requested-With to indicates to server that it's an AJAX request, and If-Modified-Since with an old date to avoid caching the page by the browser.
