		<title>How to avoid learning perhaps a little too much about Kieren&#8217;s life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I mentioned about a month ago how I was considering setting up a second blog so I could more easily separate my personal and professional life. And yesterday, twice, I was reminded that there is a bit of an unusual overlap when I spoke to two people: one, the spokesman for a company I regularly [...]]]></description>

		<title>iWoz &#8211; Apple from the other side?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My copy of iWoz arrived from Amazon this morning and I am mildly excited about reading it &#8211; much more than I thought I would be.
The book is selling itself as the first account of Apple founder Steve Wozniak&#8217;s view of this peculiar computer company. The blurb in the book is: &#8220;Having avoided the spotlight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why iTunes pricing has to change</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There is an ongoing fuss about the flat-fee of iTunes. Apple dominance of the MP3 player market with the iPod and it&#39;s very close tie-in with iTunes has meant that the computer company has been able to tell the music industry what to do so far. 
And in Steve Jobs&#39; wisdom that has meant a [...]]]></description>

		<title>The BBC, podcasts and the future of TV</title>
		<description><![CDATA[There&#39;s a lot of fuss around podcasts, but with each iteration of technology that hands production control to the individual, we are finding that it takes less time for high-quality content to appear. 
I remember when the Internet was slagged off because it was just full of dorky Americans with pictures of their cars, and [...]]]></description>

		<title>A ringside seat at the future of the Internet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Iâ€™m taking a few days off writing the Sex.com book to cover what I believe to be a very important meeting in Geneva. 
In fact, I write this from a hotel room in Geneva within spitting distance of the main train, tram, hotel, shop square called Cornavin.
Starting 10am tomorrow, for two days, the worldâ€™s governments, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Arctic Monkeys stars just by word of mouth. And 200 press articles.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love this. A new band is rocketing up the charts, is set to become the fastest-ever something and the biggest-selling something else. And it has all been done by word of mouth.
Yes, the Arctic Monkeys have come from nowhere, there are a symbol of the new Internet world where everyday citizens are bypassing traditional [...]]]></description>

		<title>Is Apple developing *too fast*?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve been pondering Apple&#39;s latest moves &#8211; namely, the shift to Intel processors and the various new and updated products that Jobs announced this week &#8211; and it struck me that Apple may be developing things *too fast*. 
Obviously that sounds ridiculous in the context of the IT industry, but bear with me. Continuing on [...]]]></description>

		<title>This year&#039;s Jobs/Apple fairground ride</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#39;ve never really understood the collective madness that surrounds Steve Jobs keynotes. The Apple CEO is undoubtedly charismatic, and he does a great job of turning the already obsessive Mac maniacs into a frothing mass of excitement, but his announcements are starting to pick up a dangerous momentum all of their own.
&#8220;Steve&#8221; gave his latest [...]]]></description>

		<title>Will Apple make the same mistakes again with the iPod?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Piece of mine in The Guardian today about the iPod and how Apple&#39;s history shows that the company may soon cock it all up and become just a bit player.
 It&#39;s a shame the article was so short &#8211; 1,200 words &#8211; because the first draft covered the whole thing and gave greater overall clarity. [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPod can finally record decent audio</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Okay, this is really good news. Despite my reservations about the new video iPod &#8211; particularly the fact that Jobs&#39; obsession with making it small has given it a ridiculous two-hour battery life &#8211; it turns out that Apple has fixed my main bugbear with all iPods &#8211; recording quality.
 It is hard-wired into all [...]]]></description>
