		<title>Greatest 4K ever told?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In what is likely to be the most impressive use of 4096 bytes this year, RGBA and TBC have created a world, in a demo called Elevated. It takes upto a minute to start, but simple looks and sounds amazing for just 4KB.
If your computer isn&#8217;t up to the task, you can watch a it [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pirates vs legal ninjas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Pirate Bay Pros:

Don&#8217;t appear to support the commercial exploitation of copyright infringement.
Don&#8217;t appear to profit from copyright infringement in the way that counterfeiters and the guys selling DVDs in the local market profit.

The Pirate Bay Cons:

Called themselves &#8220;The Pirate Bay&#8221;.
Arranged their site in a way which clearly endorses copyright violation &#8211; their TV Shows [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone therefor I am.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I recently gave into technolust and bought an iPhone 3G. After a rather drawn out purchasing process ( Surely, if someone comes in and walks straight to the counter and asks for an exact phone on an exact contract,  you can stop the sales pitch right there and just expedite the process), I left [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kurt Cobain estate &#8216;loses&#8217; $750 million? Eh?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kurt Cobain estate &#8216;loses&#8217; $750m
Where the hell did Cobain get $750 million? I know Nirvana sold a lot of records ( I bought &#8216;em and so did you! Which is rare for us   ) &#8211; indeed with worldwide estimate of albums sold over 65 million, the total plus interest would be in $750m [...]]]></description>

		<title>Robotic Overlord Overview</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Is it just me, or is there no good way for the whole &#8220;killer machine&#8221; thing to turn out? I mean Terminator was pretty much the worst case scenario, but even PW Singers&#8217; recent TED talk about these machines failed to highlight any real positives for mankind. Ah well, time to start shopping for underground [...]]]></description>

		<title>SpaceX</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So on the fourth attempt, SpaceX have successfully launched Falcon 1 into orbit. It really marks a significant change as mankind no longer needs government funding or direct military application to build a rocket and put payload into orbit.
I look forward to Falcon 9 lofting 10+ tonnes into orbit next year and perhaps even sending [...]]]></description>

		<title>I love this.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A box full of computing history and Radiohead song are two things that I find appealing &#8211; combined in this way they caused me enormous pleasure. I want to buy this. Note: If you can&#8217;t stand the sound of a ZX Spectrum loading, then skip to 1 minute in!

In case you haven&#8217;t heard the original [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is that big doggy running Windows?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Boston Dynamics call it &#8220;Big Dog&#8221; and it looks rather funny, like two guys carrying a sofa, mixed with the Hunter from Half Life 2 Episode 2.
I am in two minds about this puppy &#8211; whilst it is an awesome piece of hardware and software engineering which I would love take apart or ride around [...]]]></description>

		<title>PHP 5.2.5 on Windows 2003</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an oddity in the PHP 5.2.5 installer (and possibly earlier) on Windows 2003 in that it&#8217;s default install path is C:\Program Files\PHP. Nothing odd there and indeed the install finishes without issue with the PHP Application Extension and PHP Web Extension configured automatically in IIS (I was tried with both ISAPI and CGI) [...]]]></description>

		<title>Zeitgeist</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not sure exactly how much of this 2 hour film is true (a great deal of the details certainly are), but even if just half of it is true then it explains a whole lot about the world and the way it is. Either way it is fascinating (even for someone who doesn&#8217;t revel [...]]]></description>
