		<description><![CDATA[We get a lot of press releases talking about research in PC Pro, and studies have shown that 83% of them are entirely made up (boom boom).
But recently the NPD group, a market research company based in the States, published a study that showed only 58% of consumers who &#8220;bought a netbook instead of a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Whatever the Microsoft marketing department is on over at its Redmond HQ, long may it continue. The company&#8217;s just released its latest ads for Internet Explorer 8 and while I&#8217;m not a big fan of the browser, I&#8217;m a massive fan of these web-only ads.
Obviously inspired by the television series Mad Men the campaign features [...]]]></description>

Fortunately, I&#8217;m with an ISP that doesn&#8217;t seem [...]]]></description>

Once SEO was a questionable practice largely conducted in secret and actively discouraged by Google who would ban your site if it thought you were trying to game the system.

While the EU has indeed made progress, we&#8217;re a long way from popping the champagne corks and declaring a famous consumer victory.
Look, for example, at the data rates. The EU&#8217;s new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Radio nerds celebrated the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 landings this week by bouncing radio waves off the moon. It&#8217;s a five second round-trip, even for a radio wave, so the conversations were rather stilted. But what an interesting tribute it was.
Will other technological milestones be celebrated in similar ways, I wonder?

So, despite the impressive tech demos and endless optimism, is PhysX looking more like a white elephant with every passing GPU [...]]]></description>
