		<description><![CDATA[The Go Programming Language.
I&#8217;m glad to see this; there has been too little innovation on the system programming language front. I do like C, though I&#8217;ve become more conscious of its faults since I learned it (*mumble*) years ago.
I&#8217;m a little disappointed that Google didn&#8217;t throw its weight behind the other major contender in this [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[
Go! is a concurrent programming language, first publicly documented by Keith Clark and Francis McCabe in 2003 [1]. It is oriented to the needs of programming secure, production quality, agent based applications. It is multi-threaded, strongly typed and higher order (in the functional programming sense).

The book &#8212; well, the reviews on Amazon were glowing, and they&#8217;re basically right: clear prose style, ideas well expressed, and enough critique of other [...]]]></description>

Microsoft.
Over at TechCrunch, Duncan Riley makes the case that people leery of the coming Microsoft/Yahoo merger are being unreasonable, and need to start thinking of Google, not Microsoft, as the Evil Empire.
The Microsoft is evil meme is alive and well this week as many digest Microsoft’s [...]]]></description>

One point of view, espoused by no less than Jeff Jarvis, is that the contents of Scoble&#8217;s Facebook address book should be kept in Facebook, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One Revolution Per Child
The OLPC project is laudable even on the basis of its stated goals; but I think there&#8217;s more going on here. As this article describes, the OLPC device is by its nature subversive. But why assume that that subversion will only take place in the underdeveloped countries that are the ostensible market?
