		<description><![CDATA[ www.wirelessisfun.com 
I recently watched John Underkoffler speaking on TED (Thanks Marius) and exemplifying its vision on the future of User Interfaces.

There are two crucial aspects in this, one [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[via Josh Lowensohn at CNET I found out this morning that YouTube is quietly rolling out the High Definition option for their videos Long expected, and finally here, it&#8217;s not &#8220;public&#8221;yet, but this can be achieved with a simple URL hack by adding the &#8220;&#038;fmt=22&#8221; string to the end of the video URL string.

		<title>No More Tinkering</title>
		<description><![CDATA[About a year ago I used to tinker with RF, exploring ways to make it more ubiquitous, friendly, widespread and easy to use. Great material for WiF:)
I&#8217;ve slowed down. www.wirelessisfun.com 
Either wireless tech got so much of the above or I&#8217;m just comfortable with my setup.

Actually, surprisingly well!

So I got it! Typing on it as we speak. Dim brightness on the LED display and keyboard and all, fancy aluminum body and very very slender case. I&#8217;m electric! Have bought this sadness-bringing-geek-dream-machine when still unreleased in Romania and only a handful of my very fancy, style driven, fellow entrepreneurs have got it.  [...]]]></description>

You know what? I haven&#8217;t laughed as much in a long long time. And not so much about the video Gizmodo shot while they were ruthlessly killing CES LCDs and plasmas one by one, but the comment exchange I later found on the TV-B-Gone product page! [Later edit: removed [...]]]></description>

IPTV is supposed to be the next broadcast solution and replace traditional television program delivery. The concept behind IPTV is to deliver TV programs over the Internet. Watching YouTube clips in your browser is not IPTV. Take a look at VoIP (Voice over IP). When you say VoIP you may think Skype, but look further [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Automation &#8211; the Actiontec zControl</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just learned about Actiontec reading an article on PCMag.com. Apparently this company is one step ahead of the competition focusing its product on solutions, not as much as just devices. Their product descriptions feature words like &#8220;IPTV&#8221; and &#8220;triple play&#8221;. I will cover IPTV and triple/quad-play in a later post. www.wirelessisfun.com

Just the other day I was flipping the manner switch on the iPhone to kill time only to notice this weird landscape-like-rotation of the ringer icon.
