GAfB is an entirely different ball of wax. While it&#8217;s not perfect, it&#8217;s a lot better than GMail for business purposes and I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Something that I have heard a number of times, is that people beleive that piracy (usually music) is justified as a way of protesting copyright laws that they disagree with. While I understand that they disagree with the laws themselves, the idea that piracy is a &#8220;protest&#8221; of some type is absolutely laughable. The fact [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, Google has opened up its own, free, public DNS server. The sales pitch is that their DNS server is faster than your ISP&#8217;s, and therefore, you will save a ton of speed browsing the Web using their DNS server. Fair enough. But something occurred to me, just as I was about to change my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The story that the new BitTorrent client uTorrent 2.0 is “network friendly” is making the top headlines on the Web and mailing lists.  The only problem with this story it that it has no actual data to back up its assertions.  I took the time yesterday to run some tests on the new uTorrent 2.0 beta [...]]]></description>

Update 11/20/2009 &#8211; The cache for 720P or even 1080P content is working again. With skyrocketing bandwidth costs [...]]]></description>
