		<title>Why aren&#8217;t there more Aussie tech celebrities?</title>

		<title>Google knows a lot about you, but is that a bad thing?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Google&#8217;s a company with an interesting history. It rode into prominence in the early part of the previous decade, largely on the back of a search engine &#8212; something that in itself was already a highly commoditised entity &#8212; that worked more quickly and effectively than the competing search engines of the day.

		<title>What does iiNet&#8217;s buyout of Internode mean?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The local Internet service provider scene has been consolidating for a while, and it&#8217;ll be interesting to see whether the emerging national broadband network changes that to any significant degree; in theory an open access network that allows for new entrants could see the kind of explosion in providers that was seen back when dialup [...]]]></description>

		<title>Netbooks Caught In The Tablet Trawl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The constant clamour against Tablets has been that they&#8217;re fine little content consumption machines &#8212; good for entertainment, in other words &#8212; but they&#8217;re not much cop when it comes to productivity.
