Amazon&#8217;s works in the background, without a hitch, but Barnes and Noble&#8217;s (Nook) takes some finesse to get working. I nearly pulled my [...]]]></description>

The iPad purchase helped, but let&#8217;s face it: I&#8217;m not going to be able to do any programming on that thing. I knew I was going to install Linux on whatever I bought, so I thought I&#8217;d cut out the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[30 days ago, I broke down and bought an iPad. I know, I&#8217;ve ranted and raved against Apple&#8217;s unfair closed-source system. And yes, I hated the shopping experience my first time out. But lugging around my netbook + my Nook so I could read books and check email and read pdfs and read The Economist [...]]]></description>

I thought Apple&#8217;d integrate Lala.com&#8217;s store into iTunes, rebrand the site, and keep things rolling. I was wrong: Dear Ron T., The Lala service will be shut down on May 31st. In appreciation of your support over the last five years, you will receive [...]]]></description>
