		<description><![CDATA[I recently used Xoom.com to send money abroad and had a very frustrating experience. I used Xoom because it was cheaper and more convenient than doing an international wire transfer at my bank. I actually used a coupon code that waived the $9.99 credit card transaction fee as well. For convenience and my privacy, let&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Twitter recently took a $100 million investment, valuing the company at $1 billion. Twitter makes no money and has yet to figure out any kind of business model. And even if it does, it&#8217;s definitely not going to have revenue worthy of a $1 billion valuation anytime soon. I&#8217;d argue Twitter is another online fad [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bandwidth caps are bad for consumers, plain and simple. It&#8217;s simply a way to squeeze more money out of consumers while the cable company&#8217;s costs are largely fixed. Granted, they&#8217;re only expanding to a few select markets (including Rochester, NY), but they&#8217;ll be crazy to do this in any market where they actually have competition [...]]]></description>

There are reports that Yahoo may soon announce a search deal with Google. They&#8217;ll basically be outsourcing search to Google. Throwing away a core competency key to its long-term success for short-term gain. [...]]]></description>

Things like status meetings and conference calls are held to update a bunch of people who add no value and can&#8217;t contribue to the process or task at [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New York recently enacted a new tax law that requires Internet-based retailers to collect sales tax from customers based in New York. The tax has been informally dubbed the &#8220;Amazon Tax&#8221;. If you do any kind of online shopping you know that most of the time you don&#8217;t get charged sales tax on your purchases.

Among the parties bidding on Digg are Microsoft and Google. I think it&#8217;s about time and if Digg doesn&#8217;t sell soon, it&#8217;s going to have to lower its expectations more and more.

		<description><![CDATA[Well I fire up my RSS reader and of course the big news everybody is talking about this morning is Microsoft&#8217;s proposed acquisition of Yahoo. I always thought this would be a good thing considering there&#8217;s just no way Microsoft by itself can compete with Google in search. Microsoft&#8217;s share is just too small and [...]]]></description>

The company now continues to release new chips with better performance and lower power usage. On the other hand, not only has AMD fallen behind on performance and production technology, it has done nothing to bridge that gap. AMD has continually delayed [...]]]></description>
