I am trying to agreggate - in the aggregator - :

feed://www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss

But I get this error:

Failed to parse RSS feed John´s: invalid schema feed.

I´ve tried without the FEED:// and without the WWW. but it didn´t work.

What else could it be?

Thanks for your help.

The proper feed url is http://www.apple.com/main/rss/hotnews/hotnews.rss

I don't know where you got one with the pseudo-protocol "feed://" ... the Apple webpage has the proper reference.
http://www.apple.com/hotnews/

This is a proposed standard, To the best of my knowledge, Apple and certain Mac applications such as Safari are the only ones that recognize it.

Thanks very much for the info.

I didn´t know there were so many "standards".
By the way, how do you publish a Blogger feed in Drupal, as blogger is based on atom and not rss?

Many of Apple's RSS feeds are broken. I've contacted them repeatedly about it and never once got a reply. If you run across this in the future, be it an Apple feed or any other, try using feedvalidator: Hotnews.

I even went so far as to blog about the problem: Hey Apple: Fix Your Feeds!

Good luck.
