		<description><![CDATA[

It&#8217;s time for a new laptop, as I&#8217;ve detailed, I&#8217;ve ripped apart, inserted coins and duct-taped  the old iBook back together again enough times, and it&#8217;s no longer viable. It&#8217;ll work fine on a flat surface, but if you try to use it as a laptop the minor flexing must loosen the video chip, because you quickly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[

As a IT contractor I&#8217;m enjoying giving my opinion when asked, and sometimes even when I&#8217;m not asked; I have the confidence to be open and honest with everyone and want them to know that. Because of this I&#8217;ve been getting to do things I otherwise would not have since they would not have known [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
UPDATE: Hold the phone here, before going too gaga over the new iPods, it&#8217;s been revealed that they&#8217;ve been &#8216;re-engineered&#8217; to lock out folks trying to sync their iPods using 3rd party apps, or (gasp) Linux!  That&#8217;s right, they want you to use ONLY Windows or OSX and iTunes&#8230;this is ridiculous.  See my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve read a few posts online that review Dell&#8217;s Linux support, and most complain that they have to call the &#8216;regular&#8217; number first, only to get the &#8220;What version of Windows are you running?&#8221; support.  After redirected to the correct number for Linux support, they get excellent support.  So, to try and help [...]]]></description>

At the peak of his power, Ed says he pulled in US$10,000 to $15,000 a week, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in no way endorsing AT&#38;T, but I&#8217;m encouraged when I see a more &#8216;tiered&#8217; approach from ISPs, and DSL for $10/month is a great choice for consumers.  It seems that this tiered or &#8216;naked DSL&#8217; is only being offered up by AT&#38;T as part of the &#8220;&#8230;concessions made by AT&#38;T to the Federal [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft is set to phase out Windows XP by the end of this year, even though the majority of businesses have no reason or desire to update to Vista, since most of those updates would require new hardware.   It&#8217;s just another example of Microsoft not listening to their customers, just to their shareholders. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve long sang the praises of Speakeasy (Why I Love Speakeasy), and loved that I actually had a choice when it came to selecting DSL, which I needed because I&#8217;m pretty picky about such things.  I need static IPs and I need support to help me diagnose line issues, NOT OS issues.  From [...]]]></description>
