		<description><![CDATA[A blog post I read today reporting on the rise of e-book piracy has a rather unique take on the issue: instead of placing the blame on the pirates and the market forces driving the piracy, the blogger places the blame on Amazon and Google. Clever that post quotes security expert and an SEO expert [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The other day, I received this piece of spam in my inbox offering me the moon and all the heavens if I’d sign-up for some “awesome” website marketing program for bloggers that guaranteed me millions of visitors and untold riches from the adsense revenue that traffic would generate.&#160; All that for a “small” monthly fee.&#160; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s no such thing as Santa Claus.
There are no magic wands. 
Can&#8217;t spin straw into gold.
 Despite what the spam in my inbox says, there&#8217;s no such thing as an acne vitamin.
Likewise, there are no Leprechauns, unicorns or tooth fairies.

		<description><![CDATA[The other night, unable to sleep, I found myself flipping channels. I came across this infomercial for adult acne treatments. You know the ones I mean — they get a couple of actress/models who probably have never had a serious skin problem in their lives. But they ugly them up for a before shot and [...]]]></description>
