		<description><![CDATA[The other tech companies have figured out how to attack Apple. They&#8217;re going to form consortia to attack individual products and services. I&#8217;ll confess I didn&#8217;t see this permutation coming.
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>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a friend who just switched from an iPhone to a Droid. He likes it.
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>

Meh.
&#8230;
Master Jobst Fimil&#8217;s biography is big news. I&#8217;ll buy a copy when it&#8217;s available. Other than that, I don&#8217;t think it&#8217;s going to change the world much.

I know. Fuck Rolling Stone. I usually agree with that assessment.
This one is a collector&#8217;s edition, though. There&#8217;s an interview with Eric Clapton and Jeff Beck. The two of them. Together.
It&#8217;s written well enough that most of the meaning of the interview is between the lines.
As far as I&#8217;m [...]]]></description>
