		<title>What your computer does while you wait (and how to make it go faster)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[http://duartes.org/gustavo/blog/post/what-your-computer-does-while-you-wait
For the many people who wonder why the computer takes so long to respond even while it&#8217;s not &#8216;doing anything&#8217; (myself included).

		<title>The Genius in the Cloud</title>

		<title>The Third G</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I gotta say, the process of upgrading from an iPhone to an iPhone 3g is way too easy for it&#8217;s own good.
Even let me chill out in the store, activate it using my Mac as opposed to the store&#8217;s Mac, and restored all my old data. And for the locations with 3G, the speed difference [...]]]></description>

		<title>Mac Address Book  Google Contacts Syncing (without an iPhone)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So today, Apple released an update to Leopard: 10.5.3. Plenty of bugfixes abound, but a new feature was snuck in: Google Contacts Synchronization. This allows you to keep your address book in sync between Google, your Mac, and your iPhone.

		<title>Things I&#8217;ve learned</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just got back from a trip to Cancun for the weekend, and I&#8217;ve learned a few things:

		<title>Show me who your friends are, and I&#8217;ll show you who you are&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not the data that&#8217;s important, it&#8217;s the links between them that matter.
That&#8217;s one of my policies about data, especially now with relational databases allowing businesses and people to see the links between people. Advertisers don&#8217;t care who you are, they just care that one person has gone to X, Y, and Z places and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Almost 6 Years</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Wow, it&#8217;s funny. In Pidgin, one can view the Member Since information on any user on your buddy list (you might have been able to for some time, but I just noticed it).
