		<description><![CDATA[Something that has been driving me bonkers in Windows 7 is that apps that used to minimize to the system tray, like Skype and Live Messenger, now have a full taskbar icon. I never could figure out how to get this solved, but I came across a solution today… go to the program’s executable, and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fry&#8217;s (San Francisco Bay Area stores only) has a great deal on an Intel i3 540 CPU and Gigabyte H55m-S2H motherboard for just the cost of the CPU.  That basically saves the cost of a $90 motherboard (price at Newegg) and the cost of shipping if you live near a Fry&#8217;s.  Here&#8217;s a positive review of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[HDMI is a digital standard for transmission of audio and video, often used in Blu-Ray players. Unlike speaker cables, an HDMI cable of a recent spec (like HDMI version 1.3) and of a reasonable length either works or it doesn&#8217;t.
But it may not be that simple.

My desktop computer  is connected to an HDTV (Sharp 46SE94U) using [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few days ago, a vendor gave me a demo using Mikogo (good service, by the way). Like many similar screen sharing systems, it set my system to the &#8220;Windows Basic&#8221; settings and turned off Aero. Unfortunately, after I quit the application, it was still keeping my system in Windows Basic. A restart didn&#8217;t solve [...]]]></description>

Intel dual-core Core2 processor (Celeron E3200) with G31-based motherboard (with graphics) for $40 (and additional $10 rebate).  This packaged deal is $10 cheaper than just the processor which sells for $50 by itself at Newegg.

Look, if it was Microsoft buying Sun, there would be picketing outside the SEC by a zillion people begging for the deal to be halted, on [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This seems to be a case of hyper sensitivity over Michelle Obama&#8217;s recent comments regarding childhood obesity.  Mrs. Obama basically said:

My Doctor said that my daughter&#8217;s Body Mass Index (BMI) wasn&#8217;t looking healthy
I began controlling my family&#8217;s meal portions and asked kids to be aware of when they&#8217;re full
