		<title>Live Mesh vs Dropbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Keeping files synchronised across different PCs is, frankly, a pain in the rump. You work on a document at home over the weekend, only to forget to drop it on a USB stick before Monday morning, and end up missing a deadline. Or you’ve got photo libraries stored on two different home PCs, with different [...]]]></description>

		<title>Acrobat.com: From PDF to Flash</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I said in my recent review, the launch of Acrobat 9 is the most important release in years. Naturally most of the attention has been on the incorporation of the Flash player into the Adobe Reader with all that this means in terms of media handling and interactivity.

However it’s possible that the associated launch [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google will rue the day it bought YouTube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google&#8217;s motto may be &#8220;do no evil&#8221;, but the company can do no wrong in the eyes of tech investors and the mainsteam media. However, I suspect the day it decided to lavish some of its pocket money on YouTube may prove to be one of the biggest mistakes the company ever makes.
The $1.65 billion [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing the Space Cube</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I&#8217;ve been surrounded for the past few weeks by a veritable herd of tiny computers for a forthcoming Labs test - nine of them, to be precise - but I wasn&#8217;t prepared for what I was going to see when I searched for the World&#8217;s Smallest PC. I didn&#8217;t really expect anything - idle curiousity [...]]]></description>

		<title>With regret, Sir Alan, you&#8217;re fired!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve written columns in the past bemoaning the slow death of the British PC industry. Now the ravens really are fleeing the Tower, with the news that Alan Sugar (or Suralan to The Apprentice generation) has resigned as chairman of Amstrad, after selling out to Sky last year.
To be fair, Sugar hasn&#8217;t really been a [...]]]></description>

		<title>Online banking gets up to speed (finally!)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is less of an innovation and more of a &#8220;why the hell has it taken so long&#8221; moment, but I just had a wonderful online banking experience. Yes, I know, I should get out more.
I switched banks after reading our Online Banks Exposed feature a few months back, and since then I&#8217;ve had the [...]]]></description>

		<title>MacBook Air too light for its own good?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The carriages on my daily commute to Sussex and back are so well sound-proofed that you can hear a fly scratching its ear in the driver&#8217;s cabin. So when a repetitive tapping noise interrupted my gentle snooze on the way home last night, I set about immediately locating the culprit.
I was expecting it to be [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Sound of Drums</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I tried out a TomTom for the first time at the weekend. I realise I’m a bit behind the curve on this one, but like many Londoners I don’t own a car (that’s my girlfriend’s Clio in the picture), and there doesn’t yet seem to be a bike-friendly GPS system that has all the bells [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bruce Willis helps kids buy cigarettes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Following Barry&#8217;s post yesterday, which revealed how children as young as eleven were buying booze using debit cards, comes news that kids in Japan are using photographs of Bruce Willis to trick facial-recognition age-verification systems on cigarette vending machines.
That&#8217;s incredibly smart, apart from the whole smoking bit. More details here.

		<title>&#8220;Big cameras&#8221; banned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I had a parental visit at the weekend, and we decided to take in some of the tourist sites around the capital. On Sunday the itinerary involved a quick spin on the London Eye – it does actually move much faster than it appears to from my office window - followed by a gig in [...]]]></description>
