		<description><![CDATA[After 50 hours of walking at my desk, a few shortcomings compelled me to action. Most of the treadmill surface was under the desk and not available for walking, forcing a shortened stride. It was also unsuitable for jogging or running. We left the treadmill on sliders, so it could be slid out for running. [...]]]></description>

Dear Panasonic,
Thank you for your consumer friendly web site. I was all ready to pull out my credit card and buy that camera. At the last minute, you intervened and saved me. 
PS: Consider hiring someone to finish setting up your shopping cart. Making it work properly in standards compliant browsers would be welcome too. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When the first iPhone was released, it was expensive, limited to 2G (EDGE), and didn&#8217;t offer tethering. I was out of contract but I was in graduate school and tethering was my killer app. So I waited. Nine months later the price dropped, the first jailbreak was released, tethering was possible, and I ordered one.

		<description><![CDATA[The iPad size is excellent. It&#8217;s just right for toting around the house. The dock is a great feature, I&#8217;d buy one for the kitchen counter and another for my nightstand. I would not buy the keyboard dock. I&#8217;d buy the bluetooth keyboard instead, since it can be used with a Mac and the iPad. [...]]]></description>

In July of 2008, I was tasked with building a system to back up thousands of Linux based servers. Previous systems using Amanda and Bacula had failed, principally because they required a full time backup administrator to maintain. My job was to build a backup system that required very little maintenance, scaled well, and made [...]]]></description>
