		<title>The fourth generation iPhone &#8211; 24 things I wish it could do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if there was any surprise about it, rumors of late would seem to indicate that Apple has booked Moscone center for the annual running of the geeks. Yes, that&#8217;s right, soon it will be June 2010, and that means it&#8217;s time for the new iPhone. More tailfin, now in British Racing Green, with power [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPhone Security</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I like opening with that subject &#8211; because it&#8217;s two words that Apple seems to never want to see next to each other.
On Slashdot today, an article covered my friends from F-Secure discussing the barriers that are precluding the antivirus industry from making inroads in protecting iPhones from malware.
Indeed, they are correct, you cannot build [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Metadata fail &#8211; part 4</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As I sit here writing up my final post on media metadata, it hits me&#8230; one of my least favorite tasks of writing a new blog post. Tagging.
Why does search have to be such an afterthought? Why is it that the operating system has to have such deep insight into binary file types? Because nobody [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Metadata fail – part 3</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In last week&#8217;s posts, I began describing how metadata has failed us &#8211; or we, as lazy humans, have failed to use it.
Dr Hayes (David) opined here and here that &#8220;indexing isn&#8217;t the same as categorizing, but finding belongs to both&#8230;&#8221;. As always, I have to agree with David &#8211; but I also have to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Metadata fail &#8211; part 2</title>
		<description><![CDATA[On Twitter, I was reminded of course that metadata (the lack of it) isn&#8217;t just a home media problem. It&#8217;s pervasive in our lives &#8211; especially the more you let technology into your life. I&#8217;ll expound upon that later.
In my first post I mentioned WinFS, and why it was symptomatic of the &#8220;metadata problem&#8221; that we [...]]]></description>

		<title>Media Metadata fail &#8211; part 1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Five years ago this week, I left Microsoft. After more than 7 years there, it wasn&#8217;t an easy decision to make &#8211; but I did. This was after almost 5 years working on the Windows team. During the spring of 2004, when things weren&#8217;t honestly the rosiest for Windows Longhorn (what would, after a code reset [...]]]></description>

		<title>Preying on ignorance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been spending a bit of time looking into something that has bothered me for awhile. I refer to it as &#8220;Predatory Utility Software&#8221;, or &#8220;PUS&#8221;.
On Christmas day, I received two pieces of spam. These were admirable because they were able to defeat SpamSieve (my favorite software purchase of 2008). They were frustrating because they [...]]]></description>

		<title>Siriusly?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[SiriusXM&#8217;s stock is officially on the floor. And it&#8217;s had me thinking why &#8211; as I&#8217;ve been pondering canceling my own subscription.
Since Howard Stern went to Sirius in 2006, he has been talking big about the death of &#8220;terrestrial radio&#8221;. But I think it&#8217;s bigger than that. With iTunes, a growing selection of on-demand media [...]]]></description>

		<title>Starbucks loses laptop with employee identity info. Again.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Saw this hit the wire yesterday(Starbucks laptop theft) . It is indefensible. In 2006, Starbucks could not find 4 out of use laptops, each containing between 10,000 and 50,000 employee&#8217;s personal identifying information.
The time has come for the federal government to enact laws. Not compliance laws, but identity theft protection laws that make the rampant [...]]]></description>

		<title>Google to turn Chrome into OEM craplet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Sigh&#8230; I really had hoped we were past this era of &#8220;pay the OEM to pimp your wares&#8221;, at least with web browsers.
I don&#8217;t know where I would be without Google. It&#8217;s an invaluable tool for search. But their browser? Snooze&#8230; Like too many tools from Google, it&#8217;s a developer toy designed by developers for [...]]]></description>
