http://www.cliws.com/ is RSS-reader like Google Reader but a bit better ;) It regularly checks various RSS-feeds, so from logs I can see exact date when Google stopped to download HN's RSS feed (it worked fine before).
I filled bug for this issue with example from App Engine remote shell: http://code.google.com/p/googleappengine/issues/detail?id=7181
I wonder, may be something was changed on HN side on March, 13? What are other possible reasons for this strange issue?
