		<description><![CDATA[	My trusty old Rio Karma is nearing the end of its useful life, so I&#8217;m starting to think about an upgrade.

	The &#8216;easy&#8217; solution would be simply to buy an iPod. Since I&#8217;m looking for something with more than 20GB of solid state (not hard drive) storage, the &#8216;best fit&#8217; iPod for me would seem to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	At the end of an incident-charged Canadian Grand Prix, Robert Kubica has emerged with his maiden win, the maiden win for BMW-Sauber and, backed up by team-mate Nick Heidfeld, the team&#8217;s first one-two finish. This is a stunning achievement.

	Some will say that the team benefited from the misfortunes of others (principally Hamilton (McLaren) who crashed [...]]]></description>

Because we&#8217;ve been subscribers for more than a year, we&#8217;re no longer under a contract. Good deal, good value. Been very happy.

		<description><![CDATA[	My work took me to New Zealand last week&#8212;home of the world&#8217;s worst free to air TV (followed only by fta in the USA).

	I was astounded by a TV advertisement for &#8216;30 Second Spray and Walk Away&#8217;&#8212;a product designed to kill mould, moss, etc. on footpaths and around the exterior of a home.

	Check this out:

		<description><![CDATA[	Some time ago, I wrote about the silliness of laser printer pricing compared to drum+toner prices.

	Today, the drum and toner in my old printer needed to be replaced. So I installed a new printer (same as the old one &#8211; Brother HL-2040) which cost $A95. Cost of a new drum plus new toner would have [...]]]></description>

	According to my latest test, I can download (subject to network traffic as usual) at 35Mbps. Wow.

		<description><![CDATA[	Question: why is it impossible (in Australia) to buy unscented spray-on deodorant? It used to be freely available, but the major manufacturers have dropped &#8216;unscented&#8217; from their spray-on ranges.

	Why?

	Do people like to smell like deodorant?

	Apart from me, does anybody care?

		<description><![CDATA[	I can&#8217;t believe that the race was started with Cam McConville&#8217;s car stuck against the wall on the exit from Griffin&#8217;s Bend. Crazy. Surely it would have been better to delay the start for a couple of minutes rather than having a dangerous start followed by several laps behind the Safety Car.
