		<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>

From the “Battlephones” of the olden days, technology has progressed inexorably to today’s Smartphone. Crikey, some people even sleep with their cell phones!

		<description><![CDATA[On August 3, 2010, a C3-class solar flare caused a coronal mass ejection that headed towards the Earth. The impact of the flare resulted in a G2-class geomagnetic storm that lasted almost 12 hours. The official story is that the storm caused beautiful northern lights to appear from Europe to North America. Well, that doesn’t seem so bad, does it?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you've ever had the pleasure of upgrading old electrical wiring in a residence, you know that a separate earth ground wire was generally not used in the past. In such cases, you find yourself with 2 wires: live, and neutral. Now, you might want to install a grounded outlet without redoing a lot of wiring. A common method of getting around this little problem is to install the new 3-conductor outlet by tying live to one prong, neutral to the other prong, and then using a jumper wire to connect neutral to the ground connection inside the outlet. "Theoretically, this should work just fine!" you reason. It turns out that theoretically, you are in fact correct. Practically speaking, adding a "ground" in a 2-wire installation by tying neutral and ground together has several serious - and possibly dangerous - drawbacks. Here's the scoop.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everyone nowadays is familiar with microprocessors. Everything now  uses a processor of some kind: computers, MP3 players, cell phones, washing machines, food processors, and even some electric toothbrushes! One question I get asked a lot is: how do these processors actually work? Everyone knows that there is a thing called a microchip, and that it has transistors. But how do you go from a bunch of ones and zeros to a video playing in the web browser on your cell phone? I hope to explain here in very simple terms how a microprocessor works without getting too technical - and therefore too boring!]]></description>
