		<title>Do or die time, Apple</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Ahem.
I have had around $2500 set aside specifically to use for buying my first Mac, a MacBook Pro (witness the iPhone &#8220;halo effect&#8221; in action) for 5 months now. Anyone who has been reading this blog has seen me predicting them for a while now. I was all set to buy one, had already gotten [...]]]></description>

		<title>iPad Gut Reactions</title>

		<title>Forget the Slate; how about new MacBooks in January?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think it&#8217;s funny that so many tech journals are buzzing about the possibility of the Apple tablet (rumored to be codenamed &#8220;Slate&#8221;) announcement event in January, when there&#8217;s a far more likely main attraction to this event than that.
I&#8217;ve been predicting an update to Apple&#8217;s MacBook Pro line for over 4 months now. The line [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[(NB: Pardon if this is slightly rambling and off pace &#8211; I wrote it over the course of 3 days)

		<title>Snowball effect</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Via AdMob (read the PDF report) we learn today that the iPhone now generates 55% of all US mobile web traffic, up from a 24% share just one year ago (see here).
