		<title>NaturallySpeaking 11: A 2-Minute Review-Is It Worth It?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After watching David Pogue’s New York Times video review/commentary of the new NaturallySpeaking 11 software I decided it was time to finally take the plunge. I’d been and contemplating it for quite some time but could never quite rationalize making the purchase. After Mr. Pogue’s review it seemed like a bit of a no-brainer for [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Victimized By Its Own Success</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Like millions of others, I spent a portion of my day struggling to find a worthwhile feed/stream from the iPad debut. At one point I found myself on a website listening to audio being piped in via a cell phone with the corresponding video relying on a video feed from ANOTHER website. And even then, [...]]]></description>

		<title>AT&amp;T UVERSE: A 2 Minute Review</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For literally years I looked forward to the UVERSE network upgrade that inched slowly-ever so slowly-toward my Little Rock suburb. I checked &#8216;availability&#8217; about once a month (using an online tool) and even called in from time to time trying to glean even the most modest pearls of information. Have you ever seen an AT&#38;T [...]]]></description>

		<title>Marketing Emails-How Kohls Is Abusing Their Mailing List</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My wife recently signed up with the Kohls mailing list in an effort to secure the occasional coupon and special offer as we entered the back to school and consumer-spending-frenzied-fourth quarter. And because she&#8217;s been around me just long enough, she used our mutual Yahoo email address vs. her personal account. And in case anyone [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google Class Action Settlement: SPAM Or Conspiracy?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Whilst checking my email, I made a rare visit to the SPAM filter that&#8217;s doing a bang-up job and keeping my INBOX clear of mourning Nigerian&#8217;s and information about the &#8220;vacation cruise of a lifetime&#8221; It&#8217;s a rare occasion because I put a profound degree of trust in the Google/GMAIL system. And more recently, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Simple Options That Improve YouTube Browsing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m a guy that spends a lot of time online. So with all that, one might logically assume that&#8217;s I&#8217;d be able to navigate the in&#8217;s and out&#8217;s of how things work and how to exploit the tools and features available in most of the more complex websites. Cue the expression, &#8220;&#8230;if it were a [...]]]></description>

		<title>When Databases Attack! Netflix Personalization Vs. Simple Common Sense</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s clear that my NetFlix account is taking WAY too many liberties with what I see or don&#8217;t see featured under their &#8220;New Releases&#8221; heading. In other words, I&#8217;m missing new releases unless I take the time to seek them out. After a few visits that left me scratching my head about obvious omissions and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Javascript Disabled: Is That Really A Common Problem?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Creating websites that perform and present content correctly and uniformly across various browsers and operating systems is one the primary responsibilities of any self-respecting web designer. And to any web-dude or dudette that doesn&#8217;t make that end-game a primary focus of their process I say, shame on you. There, consider yourself rebuked. I can only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple Safari Delivers Sexy Text</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I know: its both creepy and ridiculous to suggest that an inanimate object like sports cars or even furniture could be &#8220;sexy&#8221;. But for years, Madison Avenue has been selling us that exact concept. I&#8217;m not suggesting that it&#8217;s entirely hogwash, but to the pragmatic, it is a silly point of view. And yet it [...]]]></description>

		<title>2000domain.net-When Registrars Go Bad</title>
		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve ever registered a domain, there is a high probability that you&#8217;re dealing with folks in a far off, perhaps even exotic location. Australia, India or perhaps even as far off as Philadelphia. Allow me this short history: I don&#8217;t know if this makes me &#8220;old school&#8217; (I&#8217;m not &#8220;OG&#8221;&#8230;you know, &#8220;Original Geek&#8221;), but [...]]]></description>
