		<title>Team orders in F1? They&#8217;re here to stay&#8211;get over it!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to quickly chime in on the whole Ferrari one-two fiasco. I basically agree with what David Coulthard kept saying on the BBC&#8217;s extended coverage&#8211;no matter what fans or press may shout, you can&#8217;t take the teams out of Formula 1. They spend millions of pounds on research, design, manufacture, promotion and, of course, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Torchure 1.1 Released</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My first Android Market update!  Hope this goes well. This update includes: A new colour! You can change the screen to red, to help preserve night vision. This makes the torch less effective, mind. To switch colour, either swipe sideways on the screen or use the new menu option! New preferences have been added to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Torchure for Android</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ever found yourself in need of a torch, but only had your phone handy?  Look no further! Torchure (for Android) is a pretty simple application.  It turns the screen white and, as default, whacks up the backlight to maximum.  I did say simple, didn&#8217;t I? However, it also lets you change that backlight brightness (useful [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gnome Power Manager Hides Do Nothing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Found this rather handy post that tells you what to do in newer versions of Gnome Power Manager, which for some reason hide the Do Nothing options as default. Personally I find it irritating as the battery readout in all the distros of Linux I&#8217;ve used on my Eee report the battery at 0% over [...]]]></description>

		<title>Introducing BitButcher — An Open-Source NDS ROM Trimmer</title>

Welcome to BitButcher, a small program designed to do one thing and one thing well: trim Nintendo DS ROMs. I got a bit fed up of the ones already out there, most because they were either closed-source or they had bad GUI design combined [...]]]></description>

		<title>Take Control of Your Settings —  Configuring Synaptics Touchpads and Making GNOME Respect Them</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update 2010-05-28: If you&#8217;re using Fedora 13, then the configuration for synaptics touchpads is done through what is practically the old xorg.conf method. (This is as udev now handles devices instead of HAL.)  Check out the Fedora Wiki for more information. The Problem Today I&#8217;ve been trying to configure the touchpad on my Eee PC [...]]]></description>

		<title>Stop Exact Audio Copy Crashing on Windows 7</title>

		<title>Delete Songs From Smart Playlists in iTunes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Update 2009-11-23: Corrected Mac keyboard keys.  I don&#8217;t own a Mac myself, but a friend of mine tells me that iTunes defies the normal behaviour of many other Apple applications. Probably because it&#8217;s ancient and desperately needs an update. Made a smart playlist to find songs you want to delete, then found that the delete [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pinch to Zoom?  Nah, I&#8217;m Fine, Thanks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What is this generation's obsession with pinch to zoom?  It's so often touted as "natural", "intuitive", and "cool" that it's beginning to make me go insane!  Yes, it might be cool, but have the people who say these things even thought implications of both what they say and the use of such an interface?]]></description>

		<title>A Word of Warning: Check Your Windows 7 Backup Settings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Backups in Windows 7 have been greatly improved, what with the fact you can restore from them (without needing to take a separate backup) and that they backup to networks better. However, there has been one change which caught me out, thanks to a subtle and ambiguous rewording of the backups dialog. When backups are [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ogg Vorbis Encoder for Windows</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I not so long ago made a post about using Ogg Vorbis for Ringtones on Android, as it considerably reduces the lag between getting a phone call and the phone actually playing the ringtone.  The same goes for music on the device&#8211;it just starts playing quicker. Anyway, just now I realised that I didn&#8217;t link [...]]]></description>
