		<description><![CDATA[If there’s one thing that makes me angry, it’s other people not getting angry enough. Britain has swathes of so-called regulators and “watchdogs” monitoring everything from advertising, to telecoms, to the protection of our private data, and they’re all about as much use as a toaster in a bath.
Take the Information Commissioner, for example. Christopher [...]]]></description>

Orange&#8217;s big unveiling of its iPhone tariffs has caused a bit of a kerfuffle, not least because its prices are almost identical to those of O2. A lot of people are up in arms about the promise of &#8220;unlimited browsing&#8221;, which in fact comes with a fair-use limit of 750MB.

Drupal is the most powerful open source content management system and IMHO deserves to replace Dreamweaver as the web designer&#8217;s tool of choice.

These horrendous documents are becoming increasingly common in the technology trade. For those of you [...]]]></description>
