    no it’s just the rss feed probably using feedburner.

    No, /. is not hosted by Google. /. only (ab)uses the fact that Google doesn’t seem to care about the HTTP hostname when serving up RSS feeds:

    $ host rss.slashdot.org
    rss.slashdot.org CNAME sourceforge.feedproxy.ghs.google.com
    sourceforge.feedproxy.ghs.google.com CNAME ghs.l.google.com
    ghs.l.google.com A 66.249.91.121
    $ host http://www.slashdot.org
    http://www.slashdot.org A 216.34.181.48
