		<description><![CDATA[Good news everybody! Apple&#8217;s iPhone OS is (some would say finally) getting into the multitasking game. Well, they are about to get into the game, the new OS was just announced today.
I was following the event via Engadget and saw something that caught my eye. Here&#8217;s a quote from the QA session in the iPhone OS [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Today Apple unveiled the much rumored iTablet called iPad. The abilities of the device (or lack of) have already caused lots of conversation out there. I naturally decided to concentrate just on user interface of the device. So, how does the Apple&#8217;s new toy go around the bends? I&#8217;ve made a quick analysis via Engadget&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article goes about to paint a hypothetical future where megacorporations rule the world, plus just how that might happen. Today&#8217;s subject is Apple (includes some speculation of new product release).
First things first, what is a Megacorporation?
According Wikipedia,
&#8220;It refers to a fictional corporation that is a massive conglomerate, holding monopolistic or near-monopolistic control over multiple markets (thus [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s always sad how the big players don&#8217;t seem to realize that user experience and usability matters. Specially when you want to have user created content on your website. I just spent some minutes reading an article from PC Magazine and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s interesting how the web interfaces, now that the web is actually becoming a  platform for real applications, are doing some of the same exact mistakes that desktop interfaces have done in the past years (well, in all fairness, some are still doing). I&#8217;m guessing one of the reasons for this is that the visual designers [...]]]></description>

The sole reason of existence for CATPCHA is to shoot down non-human users, since the computer supposedly can&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[For some time now people (analysts?) have been predicting the death of a computer mouse, by touchscreen and lately by multi-touch. I&#8217;m, however, going to claim that both of those technologies are absolutely outgunned by a simple Logitech. And as a cherry on the top, I&#8217;m going to give my take on the computer mouse [...]]]></description>
