				<description>&lt;p&gt;And the timing is perfect. Mr Dell, as it turns out (a little Douglassy, eh? Don&amp;rsquo;t get it, read &amp;ldquo;Salmon of Doubt&amp;rdquo;, the last book by Douglas Adams, pg 27), runs Ubuntu, Feisty Fawn on his &lt;a href=&#34;http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global.aspx/corp/biographies/en/msd_computers&#34;&gt;home PC&lt;/a&gt;. Well, one of his PCs, he has four mamoths with 4GB RAM and a Quadro FX 3500 et al, costing well over $4000. Aparently, he also runs windows as well. Hmmm&amp;hellip; living the high life.&lt;/p&gt;</description>

				<description>&lt;p&gt;I ought to resist the temptation of writing posts full of only links to other blogs .. but this one is good&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&#34;http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/03/25/selling-news-is-dead/&#34; title=&#34;http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/03/25/selling-news-is-dead/&#34;&gt;http://www.douglaskarr.com/2007/03/25/selling-news-is-dead/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;He talks about how &amp;ldquo;selling news is dead&amp;rdquo;. I thinks he hits the nail on the head with this one. When was the last time, that you read/saw, a news items that was worth buying the newspaper for?&lt;/p&gt;&#xA;&lt;p&gt;I can hardly remember the time, I needed to pick a newspaper, let alone buy one. Well, I do read a couple of articles once a week, on the papers that lie around in my office reception.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
