		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;d always been curious about the book Cult of Mac. The reviews and even the cover were very exciting, but I wasn&#8217;t sure if I&#8217;d like it enough to buy it.Â So I was pleasantly surprised to find that the publisher No Starch Press has decided to give away the PDF version of the book.Now I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With the fifth Harry Potter movie out this week, and the final Harry Potter book launched next week, it&#8217;s only fitting that we take stock of just how much Harry Potter movies have evolved since the Harry Potter and the Sorceror&#8217;s Stone in 2001. See this video analysis on New York Times.Â ]]></description>

That&#8217;s why I&#8217;m glad that someone&#8217;s finally posted a tutorial on how to do it properly! How to open a door with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[After listening to another friend&#8217;s &#8220;my-backup-drive-died-and-I-lost-everything&#8221; story, I decided to set up RAID-1 mirroring for my own backup drive. Essentially, 2 drives are set to &#8220;mirror&#8221; each other so that when one fails, the data is still available on the surviving drive. Moreover, when a replacement drive is installed, it&#8217;ll also start mirroring the data [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of my students recently talked to me about not being able to get enough sleep. It&#8217;s a big problem because they can&#8217;t sleep till very late at night, and then keep falling asleep in class..even during tests! So I looked around and found this nice list to help insomniacs. Me? I just don&#8217;t have [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Screw the iPod nano!&#8221; said the Motorola CEO at a recent leadership seminar at California. When news of this first came about, most people attributed it to the heaps of praise that Apple&#8217;s new iPod nano received, compared to the lukewarm reviews of the iTunes-synching Motorola ROKR E1. Motorola has, of course, since claimed that [...]]]></description>
