		<description><![CDATA[Apple cash on hand: $24 Billion
Adobe market capitalization: 18.74B
Apple can buy Adobe and have money left over to buy every employee a new Prius.
When Apple says, &#8220;Shit,&#8221; Adobe should ask, &#8220;How much and what color?&#8221;
&#8230;
RIP Jerome York.
&#8230;

It&#8217;s humbling to note that when Harry Chapin was my age, he&#8217;d already been dead for 15 years.

		<description><![CDATA[The innertubes are abuzz with news about all the tablet computers that will give the iPad a run for its money.
I can&#8217;t find a name for the HP Tablet. There was a prototype at CES, right? There has been a new version of Safari since then. The frigging thing should at least have a name [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It turns out the Nexus One isn&#8217;t doing so well.
After my post last night about the big ruckus between Apple and Google, Forbes posted a thing that said the Nexus One isn&#8217;t selling a lot of SKUs.
Apparently, they&#8217;re only selling well in places where basements are large and well appointed. If you live in a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s war.
Apple vs. Google
First, let&#8217;s compare hardware:
Apple makes: The MacPro, MacBook Pro, MacBook, MacBook Air Jordan, iPod Shuffle, iPod Nano, iPod Classic, iPod Touch, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express, AppleTV, iPhone 3G and 3G(S), iPad, and a collection of cords and wires to connect them all together.
Google makes: Nexus One.
Let&#8217;s look at operating systems:

Master Jobst Fimil feels like Google is disloyal for ripping off the iPhone, so he&#8217;s bitch-slapping squirrel boy in the media.
Who cares.
Every Anroid is a little victory garden. Apple plowed the field. Google planted the OS seed. Somebody else planted the hardware seeds. Somebody else provided the wireless-service seeds. Who&#8217;s job is it to [...]]]></description>

The argument on the innertubes about the iPad&#8217;s technical this-and-that is distracting Apple&#8217;s &#8220;competition.&#8221;
The argument is by the geeks, for the geeks. Let&#8217;s see if I can articulate this.
99% of the argument about the technical merits of various tablets is between people who know the meaning of [...]]]></description>

Dell, Amazon, and Google are going after iTunes. Apparently the iTunes clone already exists somewhere on the innertubes. I&#8217;d go find it, but those calories are [...]]]></description>

Everywhere you look these days, the pessimists seem to be taking over the discussion. I don&#8217;t dislike pessimists, I just dislike pessimism.
Politically, I believe that Barack Obama has allowed the Democrats and Republicans in government to finally show their true colors. They&#8217;re all more interested in personal gratification [...]]]></description>

Dang.
&#8230;
Rumors are circulating about iPhone 4.0. The new features I&#8217;m hearing about are a little worrisome:
Multitouch-á-trois ultra will accept commands from as many as six independent fingers.
Leather cases will also have to include lace trim.
It will run a native version [...]]]></description>
