		<description><![CDATA[I just read, a day or two late, that Microsoft bought aQuantive for $6bn! If Google paid $3.1 for DoubleClick and MS paid nearly 2x that for the #2 firm, then I wonder if Yahoo&#8217;s going to view its purchase of Right Media for $680m as enough. Also, I remember reading about WPP buying up [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I can&#8217;t even begin to analyse the ramifications of this happening! Reports I&#8217;ve read say that the two companies are talking and it&#8217;s a deal that could be worth about $50 billion. There&#8217;s a part of me that really wants this to happen, but not because it&#8217;ll stick it to Google. Quite the opposite actually. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google&#8217;s really going fast and hard at my data. I just searched for something at Google.com and noticed some new &#8220;features&#8221; they&#8217;re offering which I found really disturbing, namely Web History. It aims to make your Internet activity much easier to track and manage. It aims to make your searches more accurate and relevant. It [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Okay, calling it a monopoly is a bit of a stretch, but one has to wonder what this acquisition binge of Google&#8216;s is going to end up doing to the competition. DoubleClick and Google were the two largest online ad distributors and they&#8217;re one entity now (at a cost of $3.1bn to Google, in case [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve been reading about Joost for a while now, watching various sites to see how things play out.

I&#8217;ve looked at the two no-brainer solutions available, the ROKU SoundBridge m1000 and the Slim Devices Squeezebox, but, tbh, both seem to be expensive for what they&#8217;re doing. The others all [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After convincing a couple of friends a while back, I finally got around to taking my own advice and buying a pre-modded XBOX to use as a media centre. I already have the D-Link DSM-320, which is really a painful device to teach non-techies to use &#8212; hell, it&#8217;s painful for me to use as [...]]]></description>
