		<title>And these people run political parties</title>
		<description><![CDATA[From News.com.au&#8217;s Gay marriage should be ridiculed, says Independent Bob&#160;Katter:

Nationals Senate leader Barnaby Joyce said his four daughters would be affected if same sex marriage was&#160;allowed.
&#8220;We know that the best protection for those girls is that they get themselves into a secure relationship with a loving husband and I want that to happen for&#160;them.

We now have the ability to act as a domain registrar for a total of 21&#160;top-level-domains.

		<title>Oh Kotaku, how I miss your&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;&#160;content.

Wouldn&#8217;t be so bad if Gawker&#8217;s individual sites hosted the JS files since NoScript wouldn&#8217;t block everything by default. Did someone skip&#160;user-testing?

		<title>Updated semi-useful, half-done JavaScript 2D game engine (featuring Streets of Rage 2 characters)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
New version&#8217;s up. It&#8217;s much more developed than when I last blogged about it, but there&#8217;s still plenty to do. I&#8217;ll write about it in detail&#160;later.
Great in: FF 4, Chrome 6+
Good in: FF 3.6 (a bit slow)
Dodgy in: Safari 4 (audio samples are always reloaded from the network, otherwise it&#8217;s ok), Opera 11 (input problems; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Removing the &#8216;last updated&#8217; text from Firefox 4&#8217;s addon manager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jenny Boriss&#160;writes:
The intended purpose of the add-on manager’s list view is to give a brief overview of the users’ add-ons and to provide only the minimal, most used information and&#160;functionality.

I don&#8217;t think a small chunk of text on each addon entry is causing the manager to be aesthetically busy. The absurd amount of whitespace and [...]]]></description>

Not a noob to UI design (history in desktop app dev) and typically an advocate of&#160;minimalism.

		<title>A Quick Guide to Ineffectively Downplaying Wikileaks</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Robert Gibbs, US Presidential Press&#160;Secretary:

We should never be afraid of one guy who plopped down $35 and bought a web address. &#8230; Let&#8217;s not be scared of one guy with a&#160;laptop.

Julian Assange, in the Guardian&#160;Q&#038;A:

The Cable Gate archive has been spread, along with significant material from the US and other countries to over 100,000 people [...]]]></description>

		<title>Join Domino&#8217;s Ideas Lab, become a serf</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today I received an invite to join Domino&#8217;s new media venture, the Ideas Lab, a place where you can sell your potentially lucrative ideas for nothing but extensive media exploitation by a multinational pizza brand for infinity time + 1. From their scary Terms and&#160;Conditions:

		<title>From an interview with Assange</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
WikiLeaks means it’s easier to run a good business and harder to run a bad business, and all CEOs should be encouraged by this. I think about the case in China where milk powder companies started cutting the protein in milk powder with plastics. That happened at a number of separate&#160;manufacturers.
Let’s say you want to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shutting down Wikileaks pretty simple, apparently</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My all-time favourite US Senator Joseph Lieberman (he who doth protest video gaming) makes an amusing call to shut Wikileaks down. Oh man, for the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee you sure don&#8217;t have a clue about the &#8220;enemy&#8221; you&#8217;re engaging&#160;here.
