So much, in fact, I predict these &#8220;computer-like objects&#8221; will be a lot more relevant than tablets, but only if they come down in price. The reported $350-500 launch models, available June 15, are too [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My brother-in-law works in a Manhattan commercial music studio, producing jingles and licensing original music for use in advertising. Apparently, he deals with this regularly. Favorite line: &#8220;That is insulting. We would go out of business if we  agreed to terms like that.&#8221;
More proof that unrealistic buyers are everywhere. (Although I still think there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ESPN this week interviewed Jonathan Goldstein, the man behind The Most Interesting Man in the World. My favorite quote:
&#8220;It&#8217;s every guy&#8217;s fantasy to be like him &#8212; including mine,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I hope our viewers can get a chuckle, but also get good advice. Be interesting, don&#8217;t be boring.&#8221;
Awesome advice.
