		<description><![CDATA[Finding myself with an idle 20 minutes on the train to work this morning, I decided to give my laptop a long overdue spring clean (it&#8217;s July, after all).  I started by uninstalling a handful of applications that have served their purpose.
Once removed, no fewer than two thirds of them (yes folks, that&#8217;s two out [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After last year&#8217;s tax return debacle, which saw the Inland Revenue site collapse when 204,000 people attempted to enter their return on deadline day, it&#8217;s reassuring to see that this time it just worked.
Purely for the sake of research, and by no means due to me putting it off for a number of weeks for [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve known for many years that I really should have an organised backup plan in place, but &#8211; just like putting in my expenses form &#8211; I&#8217;ve been putting it off in favour of, you know, writing articles about backup.

		<description><![CDATA[
China is apparently considering demanding source code from hardware manufacturers, and banning the sale of products from companies that don’t comply. It&#8217;s being called an &#8220;obligatory accreditation system for IT security products,&#8221; but to me it sounds more like a worrying ultimatum.
This would be a drastic move for any Government, but manufacturers are extremely worried [...]]]></description>

It’s not that I think automatic updates are necessarily a bad idea.* But why bug me about [...]]]></description>

Software, I&#8217;ll happily admit, is a subjective thing. For instance, I really like using Windows Vista, while it brings PC Pro deputy editor David Fearon out in hives.
But the worst software, in my opinion only (my PC Pro hat is over there, resting), is RealPlayer. So much so that I&#8217;ve avoided installing it, despite numerous [...]]]></description>
