		<description><![CDATA[After a 50-minute phone call to Optus technical support yesterday, my enquiry was answered in 140 characters or less by the Optus Social Media team.
This is the sad tale of an Optus support call. I&#8217;m kicking myself I didn&#8217;t record it, because you just can&#8217;t invent this stuff. It&#8217;s so absolutely absurd that no-one, except [...]]]></description>

Marketed as &#8220;the best value tablet PC in the world&#8221;, the Agora tablets run Google&#8217;s Android operating system. But how does the Agora compare to Apple&#8217;s iPad, or other tablets [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Another self-indulgent blog post, so next time I have this problem, I don&#8217;t waste hours trying to fix something I&#8217;ve successfully tackled in the past. Hopefully this helps someone else.
The mysterious, magical Samba service is great when it works. When it doesn&#8217;t, it can be extraordinarily frustrating.

This is a cursory, &#8220;first impressions&#8221; post about the latest social networking craze, Google+.
Facebook should be very concerned.  So should LinkedIn.  Google&#8217;s latest foray into social networking has all the hallmarks of a Facebook-esque social network but with safety and security at the forefront of the user experience.  Maybe they&#8217;ve learned from the failed Google [...]]]></description>

Adam filed another article on the popular Hydrapinion blog, too: Media Centre PC &#8211; R.I.P.?

there are a lot of people on the intranets that appear to have this, or a similar, problem; and
