		<title>Why I Love Reading On My Old Tab</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I was an early adopter on the original Samsung Galaxy Tab (read: vaguely experiencing shopper&#8217;s remorse).  The 7 inch original Galaxy tab.  The one that was going to be an iPad killer. Newly enamoured with Android, and before my love affair with all things Apple began, I tinkered with the thing, installed a gazillion apps, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Flash: the enemy of Macbook battery life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the early days of using the MacBook Air, battery life of 5 hours was not unheard of, especially if I was not doing anything related to video. For normal browsing, bit of email, and mostly writing (code and English!), battery life was pretty good.  Some days I would be out and about, and not [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gleeful Google Plus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I love G+, the brand new social network, and here&#8217;s why: It has the best of Twitter (public) and Facebook (private) The circles interface rocks.  I know it&#8217;s childish, but I create and delete circles just to see that cute animation of the circle rolling away. I can have weird circles like &#8220;People to not [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s been about 6 months since my wholesale conversion to Apple goodness, and almost 6 months to the day I got gifted with a gorgeous iPhone 4 (thanks sweet hubby!).  Recently, I came across a couple of things that are not so obvious that I thought I&#8217;d share: 1.

		<title>Talent or Hard Work?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Stuck in traffic on the way home yesterday, I was listening to my favourite talk radio, Dubai Eye, discuss talent, practice and the right combination of each for success.  There are firmly divided camps on this: the ones that feel talent is way overrated, and the others who believe that without that seed of inborn [...]]]></description>

		<title>Can&#8217;t believe it: IE9 and iPhone Email</title>
		<description><![CDATA[March weather is known as being full of ups and downs.  March this year is also the month that has turned my firmly-held beliefs upside down in the tech world. Internet Explorer 9 It&#8217;s true.  IE9 is the new king of browsers.  Well, perhaps not quite crowned yet, but goodness, it&#8217;s clean, it&#8217;s fast. The [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kids Ed 2.0</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As a parent of two school going children, I get a first-hand glimpse at what is being taught in school these days, and continuously marvel at how much schooling has changed since my pinafore-wearing,  chalk-and-blackboard days. For starters, I recall my pleasant surprise to see a &#8220;magic&#8221; whiteboard in my son&#8217;s KG class.  Even at [...]]]></description>

		<title>Must-Have Apps</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In the early days of first getting my hands on a new gadget, it&#8217;s quite normal to spend endless hours tinkering, configuring, trying out dozens of apps, and generally having lots of wow moments. However, not many applications make it past that first weekend.  So here are my faves: Evernote By far the best note-taking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Equal opportunity gadgets</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most last quarters of the year find me getting into some new gadget. Like clockwork, the itch to play with a new technology starts just after the summer break, intensifies around GITEX, and then I spend a few feverish weeks trying to source &#8216;the&#8217; new gadget as it inevitably hasn&#8217;t released yet in Dubai.

		<title>GeekFest Dubai: Thoughts</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last night marked another edition  of the now infamous Geekfest Dubai. I was a bit shocked to realize it had been a full year since the last one I attended, and though I missed most of it, I caught the last 2.5 talks.
