		<title>iPhone 3G Earbuds&#8217; inline mic, controls not working</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve just solved a rather curious problem with my iPhone 3G S and since previous posts on this site with troubleshooting information have gotten some hits and seem to be of periodic use to people, I though I’d post my solution for posterity.
I used this method on an iPhone 3G S, but I’m confident it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Big news today for free speech on the internet!
Google has announced that they will no longer censor search results on google.cn.  Here&#8217;s Google&#8217;s official announcement on their blog, and a NY Times story covering it.  While Google is not the most popular search engine in China, it certainly is the leader among American providers.  We&#8217;ll [...]]]></description>

		<title>Selfish WiFi Sharing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’d like to share my internet connection over WiFi, but there are a couple reasons I don’t.

I don’t want it to impact the bandwidth I have when I’m using my connection. 
I don’t want them to use it in such a way that it triggers my ISP to throttle my connection. 
I don’t want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>iTunes 9 + Win 7 Play Nicely</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’m running the Windows 7 Release Candidate, and pulled down Apple’s new iTunes 9, which debuted on last Wednesday.&#160; I noticed a little added feature:
 
It seems iTunes 9 takes advantage of the Windows 7 taskbar enhancements and adds a back, play/pause, and forward button below the live preview.&#160; It also adds a balloon above [...]]]></description>

		<title>Ending Email Distraction</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In terms of our interaction, email used to be essentially snail mail that you could send and receive instantly.&#160; But our interaction with email has moved far beyond this simple analogue of open mailbox, get messages.&#160; The postman comes to my house once a day; whatever letters come, that’s all there is until tomorrow.&#160; The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Entropy is the opposite of knowledge</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jeff Atwood, over at Coding Horror posed an interesting little puzzle about probability:
Let&#8217;s say, hypothetically speaking, you met someone who told you they had two children, and one of them is a girl. What are the odds that person has a boy and a girl?
To put it in more precise language so we can concentrate [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows Live Writer</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Wordpress web-interface for writing blog posts is OK, but I do miss some of my favorite word-processing features. The blog-posting facility in Word 2007 didn’t impress me, but I’m on a Microsoft kick this week while trying Windows 7, so I thought I’d take Windows Live Writer for a spin.
Although it presents you the [...]]]></description>

		<title>Windows 7 Beta</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Downloading the Windows 7 Beta was a little more difficult than it should have been, but I was admittedly jumping the gun a little bit.  The public beta was briefly posted, only to be withdrawn because the servers couldn&#8217;t keep up with demand.  (It&#8217;s now back up.)  Being the impatient man that I am, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Live Mesh first look</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I&#8217;ve decided to use my Saturday to geek-out and try some new computer stuff.  While Microsoft is making a somewhat lackluster presentation at CES compared to the likes of Sony, Palm, and Dell which have announced slick-looking gadgets, in terms of things to try right now, two Microsoft betas have caught my attention.  The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Text messaging numbers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;most emailed&#8221; story in the NY Times today is about the prices and costs of sending text messages from a mobile phone.  Mobile phone companies charge an arm and a leg for these&#8211;in terms of markup on costs it has to be the single most lucrative service they offer.  US carriers charge 20 cents [...]]]></description>
