		<title>Nexus One Android Phone Hands On</title>

		<title>Windows Mobile 7</title>
		<description><![CDATA[

		<title>Use an iPad to access your desktop</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Apple has announced a new device called the iPad. I understand that it will be something like an iPod touch, but with a 10&#8243; screen. You might have heard of it. This might be Apple&#8217;s way of entering the netbook market which it has avoided thus far. Or it might be a good e-Reader to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Are we addressing the real security problems?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This report from SANS was an eye-opener for me:
http://www.sans.org/top-cyber-security-risks/
Priority One: Client-side software that remains unpatched.
