		<description><![CDATA[You&#8217;ve probably heard of ARM processors a lot lately. They are used in all kinds of devices like smartphones, tablets, routers, and so on. I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;ve also heard why they are so great: They&#8217;re powerful, and they&#8217;re extremely energy efficient! Well, so is my Intel processor in my desktop computer, frankly. On average, it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This article originally appeared in Issue #14 of The Dot Connector Magazine. Cell phones: they’re everywhere. From the “Battlephones” of the olden days, technology has progressed inexorably to today’s Smartphone. Crikey, some people even sleep with their cell phones! Much has been written about the health effects of the gigahertz electromagnetic radiation that emanates from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Alrighty, I just can't stay quiet about this one. I've had enough. I'm talking about Intel's GMA 500 graphics chip. You know, the one that's in all those Z-series (and soon Pine Trail-based) netbooks, the one that gets all the bad reviews, and the one that is generally regarded as less capable than even that ancient, stinking heap of a graphics core, the GMA 950. Well folks, think again. In fact, the GMA 500 is capable of simultaneous decoding of two (yes, two) 1080p streams, 3D graphics, and DirectX 10.1 - and all that in a 2.3W power envelope (at least in the US15W "Poulsbo" chipset).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Most printer problems are caused by gummed up inner workings. A lot of people simply chuck their malfunctioning printer in the trash can and buy a new one. With the economy the way it is, that isn't the best move for most of us. Lucky for you, it's actually surprisingly simple to clean out a laser printer and make it work like new!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let's face it: in this dawning age of high-definition video, a good old fashioned VHS tape seems rather, well, ancient. Nevertheless, a lot of people have movies on VHS that they can't get on DVD. And sometimes, there's even a bit of nostalgia attached to certain video cassettes.

It has become more and more difficult to find an inexpensive VCR that doesn't include a DVD player as well. If you already have a DVD player and you want to save some money (also important in this day and age!), you may find yourself out of luck.

VCR repair is also a dying occupation. So if you can't buy a new VCR, and you can't get your current one repaired, what do you do?

Why, you open your current VCR up and fix 'er yourself!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So, you're merrily using your cell phone, MP3 player, or other electronic gizmo when it just happens to slip out of your hand and fall into the bathtub, ocean, river, a bowl of soup, etc.

After panicking and maybe swearing a bit, what the heck are you supposed to do?

With a little ingenuity, the proper tools, and a dash of bravery, you CAN bring your device back to life. Unless it's a digital camera - in that case, you're probably screwed. Sorry.

The first step is the most important: REMOVE THE BATTERY IMMEDIATELY!!!]]></description>
