		<title>The Traffic lights in MY town go the other direction&#8230;.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I must admit, I wasn&#8217;t terribly impressed with the new AppleTV so far, as Apple is still missing a central media server so that a household can keep things together and sync cooperatively into a central store easily. &#160; But that&#8217;s not why I&#8217;m shaking my head the most about the iPod event of September [...]]]></description>

		<title>Loreena McKennitt on C-32 and &#8220;user rights&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Loreena McKennitt has written an op-ed in the Winnipeg Free Press with her views on copyright. &#160; I have a lot of respect for her talent and her opinions on the matter, though her particular style of music hasn&#8217;t graced my library to date as I&#8217;ve paid my money to other artists so far. &#160; [...]]]></description>

		<title>A post on Canada&#8217;s copyright laws &#124; Cory Doctorow &#124; guardian.co.uk</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A concise and worthy summary of the situation of Bill C-32 and just how misguided that one critical clause is. &#160; Doctorow is exceedingly well-spoken on the matter, as well as in a position as a very popular creator to speak with authority on the intent of the law from his perspective. Canada&#8217;s copyright laws [...]]]></description>

		<title>Radical extremists minister?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m quite alarmed that our own minister feels that those that oppose a proposed piece of legislation are labelled &#8220;radical extremists&#8221; as quoted in this article on canoe.ca: International trade group calls on G20 to act on piracy So if you look at the list Michael Geist quickly cobbled together, over&#160;here you get the impression [...]]]></description>

		<title>Canada copyright &#8211; DRM lock pain</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The C-32 bill is actually pretty decent. &#160; In fact, it&#8217;s more frustrating that it is so CLOSE to being a fair, reasonable and modernized copyright bill that balances copyright protections and consumer rights that it&#8217;s all the more frustrating in falling short. If you want to know what we&#8217;re facing, look here. &#160; As [...]]]></description>

		<title>Apple could be in violation of provincial laws &#8211; CTV News</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s about time our laws worked in the interest of the consumer for once. CTV Calgary- Apple could be in violation of provincial laws &#8211; CTV News As a side note, you can now gift applications between accounts and it appears the terms of service have changed to allow allowances and gift cards to buy [...]]]></description>

		<title>Now it&#8217;s Google fanboys?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m frankly amused at the way reporters will do anything to sensationalize. &#160; I will hold this one up and link to is as I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s more damaging than helpful overall, but hey, he wrote it. &#160;Keep in mind when you read about this reporter switching to iPhone, it&#8217;s based on a demo of [...]]]></description>

		<title>Warning from Michael Geist &#8211; Canadian DMCA Bill incoming</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The original article is at: Michael Geist &#8211; PMO Issues The Order: Canadian DMCA Bill Within Six Weeks Our Prime Minister has, if Mr. Geist is right (and he&#8217;s usually well connected enough to be right), ignored a full public consultation, completely discounted studies and findings that show the DMCA is ineffective and a pile [...]]]></description>

		<title>Really, you don&#8217;t actually own the phone at the end of the contract</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I was looking to get one of my old Fido phones unlocked for use as I travel. Trick is it&#8217;s a Nokia 5200. Apparently those can ONLY be unlocked by the provider. So I phoned Fido and wended through their voice menus and wait times to talk to a technical representative. The will not [...]]]></description>

		<title>A response to Mr. Owens on shooting down the copyright consultation.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Over at: The York Osgoode law school, a preliminary analysis of the Canadian Copyright Consultation has been posted by Richard Owens. If you have been following this matter here and with Michael Geist and others, it&#8217;s a worthwhile read of his main analysis. Unfortunately, I think it&#8217;s also a call back to &#8220;business-as-usual&#8221; lawmaking, and [...]]]></description>
