		<description><![CDATA[Speaking as someone who would never install iTunes on his computer (which rules out Apple products for me), I can&#8217;t help but notice that the new iPod touch just made all the android mini tablets like the Ramos W7 or even the Dell Streak obsolete. There&#8217;s no 3G capability, but you can get a MiFi [...]]]></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[At the advice of others, I&#8217;ve decided to give Firefox a one week trial (I&#8217;ve been an IE user since version 3 or 4 took me off of Netscape). I was willing to make the switch simply because IE is really, really slow. To be honest, the &#8220;usual suspect&#8221; list of reasons didn&#8217;t factor into [...]]]></description>
