		<description><![CDATA[Offtopic: While it doesn&#8217;t have too much to do with the usual topics in the blog, but as a Finn, it still touches me. Oh, wait. Actually, it has something to do with usability.

		<title>Coco Tracker is now live!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Yesterday I launched new web application &#8211; Coco Tracker (www.thecocotracker.com), an application which tracks and aggregates all the various Conan O&#8217;Brien themed twitter accounts out there.
The idea was born when, as a Conan fan, started following all these new Conan themed twitter accounts (like @ConansSquirrel), which seemed to spawn to life whenever &#8220;The Big Red&#8221; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hello there, internet. Time for a bit of an update.
After Austria, and back in Finland, things have been hectic as hell (writing thesis, thesis project, seminar, two to four simultaneous projects at the same time &#8211; all this in 6-8 months) and finally, yesterday we got one of our big projects done. Freedom!? Well&#8230;

		<title>Quick analysis of Apple iPad&#8217;s User Interface</title>
		<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>

		<title>Google Spork is too fast for Livejournal</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just to clarify, I mean Google Crome and here&#8217;s why: I was poking around in the Internets, clicked a link and was greeted with &#8220;Access Forbidden &#8211; You&#8217;ve been temporarily banned.. because you were hitting the site too quickly.&#8221; Now, I know Google Chrome is quite swift of a beast but to be so fast [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cyberpunk Megacorporations &#8211; Apple</title>
		<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>

		<description><![CDATA[Note: Also includes a reply to PC Magazine&#8217;s article &#8220;The Google vs. Apple War Begins&#8220;
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>

		<title>Apple taking steps towards the dark side, hatred, anger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some months ago I was questioning if Apple was becoming evil (Is Apple becoming evil?), and at least with some parts, it seems to me it&#8217;s steadily steaming towards that direction. In the end I quoted a somewhat famous movie:
