		<description><![CDATA[So I found a fascinating article on Kotaku today about the concept of &#8220;mature video games&#8221;. Quick summary: Maturity in games should be about more than gratuitous nudity and &#8216;adult&#8217; language. I totally agree. Two of my favorite games ever include Mass Effect and The Witcher arguably fall in the proper category of &#8220;mature&#8221; games. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Michigan is an automotive state.  Our economy statewide is married to the industry, as much as I wish it were not.  And now it seems that a long time of trouble for the US automakers has become so critical that the &#8220;Small Three&#8221; have been begging like paupers for the past two weeks trying to get a government funded [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have really enjoyed watching the Olympics this summer.  The opening ceremony was spectacular, world records are being broken almost every day, and Michael Phelps has just been a phenom in the pool &#8211; which is great. However, I can&#8217;t help but feeling that there is something of a taint over the games this time [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Apple currently holds the number 1 position when it comes to luxury laptop computer sales.  It isn't hard to see why either, the computers are almost literally seamless and the operating system works without nearly as many compromises as windows machines require.  OSX has all the shine of Vista without any of the nightmares.  Apple is just on top of things at them moment, with their market share "exceeding that of google" (via slashdot).

There is one looming issue however - Apple has yet to release a successor to the MacBook Pro, or even an update to the recently launched Intel Centrino 2 architecture.]]></description>
