		<title>Goodbye, LaLa.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[LaLa.com is closing it&#8217;s doors. But not in the sense you might think. They were purchased by Apple in December of 2009 for an &#8220;officially undisclosed&#8221; amount (17M is the latest figure I could find). Thanks, TechCrunch!
There&#8217;s a great post byEd Bott going over some of the initial steps Lala was taking in mid-April to [...]]]></description>

The app has an avid following due to the compelling game mechanics involved. Checking in at certain locations unlock &#8220;badges&#8221; that users rack up and can show off to their [...]]]></description>

		<title>YouTube unveils new UX(User Experience) redesign</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Very subtle, YouTube. I almost didn&#8217;t even notice. While I was clicking around, watching videos today on my YouTubes, I was oblivious to the fact that the site had undergone a total UI makeover. To start things off, the design is clean(er). In comparison to earlier designs, the new design feels sparse (in a good [...]]]></description>

A new tool to save time
LucyPhone knows your pain. Waiting on hold sucks. You are spending precious time listening to some of the world&#8217;s worst. Music. Ever. Seconds seem like minutes, and minutes seem like an eternity. You can never get that time back. Ever. You don&#8217;t have to wait any more though.
Some real smooth [...]]]></description>

		<title>A users-eye view of location and activity in the stream</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Location is Big
But it&#8217;s only a small part of the larger social landscape. Take a step back and think about what sites like Foursquare and Facebook are asking everyone: Who are you? Where are you? What are you doing? Who are your friends? What do you like? What do you DISLIKE?  (I’m looking at you, Facebook.) [...]]]></description>

Author&#8217;s Note: I began this post at midnight after waking with what seemed like hundreds of ideas swimming in my head. This is what spilled out. It is raw. It is not &#8220;bloggy&#8221; It may still have errors even after I&#8217;ve revised it a few times. I&#8217;m not going to edit it any more though. [...]]]></description>

		<title>Quality Control @ Dell WPD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Our office participates in the Dell Warranty Parts Direct service program. Basically it allows us to be &#8220;self-maintainers&#8221; and order our own warranty parts as needed rather than having to wait on hold with support to go through the same troubleshooting steps we&#8217;ve already completed. It&#8217;s usually an efficient way to get bad parts replaced [...]]]></description>

		<title>Monumental FCC Ruling on Comcast P2P Practices</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We will be seeing some (hopefully positive) changes in the way Comcast manages their network; specifically Peer to Peer traffic to and from their customers.
On August 1st, the FCC released a press statement skewering Comcast&#8217;s practice of throttling or dropping altogether traffic bound for or coming from their customers that is classified as &#8220;Peer to [...]]]></description>
