		<description><![CDATA[
After five loyal years using Firefox as my browser of choice, I finally switched to Google Chrome. Here&#8217;s why

It&#8217;s noticeably faster than Safari, Firefox, and IE.
It doesn&#8217;t crash like Firefox.
Plugins and add-ons are much more stable.
It&#8217;s smarter (i.e. it won&#8217;t overwrite a URL your inputing while loading a page) etc.
It synchronizes my Internet experience, regardless of which machine [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I watched the Google Chrome OS demo today and came away impressed. The product won&#8217;t meet the need of power-users, producers, and mult-media creators. But for everyone else, including power-users when they don&#8217;t need extra power, Chrome OS is the first legitimate consumer rival for both Macintosh and Windows I&#8217;ve ever seen. Much more so [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mark Milian describes the best enhancement to iTunes one could ever hope for:
Music software has no way of knowing whether you like one song more than the previous, unless the user chooses to actively rate a track — thumb up in Pandora, 5-star picks in iTunes. Most people, I’d assume, don’t make the effort.
But you [...]]]></description>

Like Click To Flash or Flash Block, Caffeine is a must for portable Mac users. With this tiny program installed, your monitor won&#8217;t dim unless you say so by clicking an icon on the menu bar. First discovered in December (thanks, Matt!), it&#8217;s just the shot my portable video needed to stay awake. There&#8217;s also [...]]]></description>

I don&#8217;t despise Microsoft. I still use XP (alongside OS X on my Mac). Xbox 360 can be a fun time. And Word is still a must for professional document design (GoogleDocs is too limited in some cases). But in recent years, I&#8217;ve started to like Microsoft less and less. The reason?

I want to completely transition to Mac next month, having preferred my PowerBook to my Windows desktop for three years now.
