		<title>hi5 shoving ads in your face</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have to admit that I have a small addiction to farming games. I tried out Farmville on Facebook and now I&#8217;m losing time with Barn Buddy on hi5. Anyway, in order to get to your farm, you must wait a few seconds for the application to load. But the application is in flash and [...]]]></description>

		<title>Dumb Picasa Installer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Me: Hi, I would like to install you. Picasa: OK, great. This installer will automatically use Romanian based on you location. Who cares if your default language is English. Heck, I won&#8217;t even give you the option to switch languages. Me: Oh well, I&#8217;ll just change that later. Picasa: I&#8217;m done installing. Let&#8217;s run Picasa [...]]]></description>

		<title>Laptop rants</title>
		<description><![CDATA[After 2 years of being the owner of a Dell XPS M1330 here are some thoughts about it and about laptops in general. OK. A 13 inch display screen isn&#8217;t really that small and having a 1280&#215;800 resolution (like many of the 15&#8243; laptops) means you get a decent amount of space. Most IDEs like [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Chrome version</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I updated Chrome after reading on techcrunch about the new version. It&#8217;s great that you can sync your bookmarks now. Another nice thing is that an extension from Xmarks is available (last time I checked on the Xmarks site, they didn&#8217;t offer any integration with Chrome). However, no Firebug yet. And Firebug Lite doesn&#8217;t count! [...]]]></description>

		<title>Travian is using Age of Empires screenshots</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I came across a somewhat familiar picture inside an advertisement on Facebook: It&#8217;s a screenshot from Age of Empires: Rise of Rome (a great game, by the way). Using TinEye you can find the (supposedly) original source at http://www.lauppert.ws/screen1/rise_of_rome.jpg. However the ad takes you directly to Travian, a multi-player browser game.]]></description>

		<title>What is your webiste worth?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There are some useless (yet fun) websites that try to calculate a website&#8217;s value based only on the domain name. Let&#8217;s see how much would a random website (ylipsis.com) cost: $56 according to mywebsiteworth.com $2372.5 according to websiteoutlook.com $95 according to websitevaluecalculator.com The disturbing problem is when people use those values in business proposals: Hey, [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Gmail features</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Gmail is switching to https by default. Also, there are some other cool features I found out about just now: http://mail.google.com/mail/help/intl/en/about_whatsnew.html. You can also buy storage starting from 5$/year for 20GB that is shared between Docs, Gmail and Picasa (higher packages have a proportional price, so no discounts there). Imagine sharing all your photos with [...]]]></description>
