		<title>JRR and Jobs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Ryan Paul, Open Source Editor at ArsTechnica: In Tolkien’s world, wizards are wise, powerful, and farseeing.

		<title>Apple&#8217;s Secret Formula</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From Let&#8217;s Talk, iPhone, by Tom Simonite &#8211; MIT Technology Review: The formula is simple: take a bunch of neat technology that has never lived up to its promise, rethink what it&#8217;s for, do some secretive hard work, and then release a natural, retrospectively obvious experience that redefines what computers can do.

		<description><![CDATA[So, here goes &#8211; the first of my shooting diaries.  Jaanu&#8217;s birthday was at a restaurant in Dubai, which is a pretty standard party hall, with a few tables, a small podium, and place for seating, a play floor and a buffet table arrangement.  Lighting was decent &#8211; not very bright (it never is!) but [...]]]></description>
