		<description><![CDATA[Google has progressed since the days of 41 shades of blue. At least in the user interface of their products. I had no insight into whether this reflects a change in the underlying process. But now there is some news on that front. Yesterday Chris Wiggins (Creative Director at Google) made a post to the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Google has transitioned from a &#8220;growth company to a cash cow&#8221; &#8212; that&#8217;s the conclusion of Michael Copeland and Seth Weintraub, writing for Fortune: Long-term projections for growth in the search business are more in the 15% to 17% range. Yet analysts estimate that 91% of Google’s revenue still comes from the AdWords and AdSense [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Not to worry, this is not a post about politics, but about design (I am an expert in neither field). You have probably grown tired by now of reading this popular quote attributed to Steve Jobs, but it&#8217;s worth repeating: Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[BumpTop is a 3D desktop manager for Windows and Mac with some slick features and fairly well done OS integration. I have been using it for a few days now and it is impressive if not indispensable. The reason for this post however is to comment on something that John Gruber wrote about this app: [...]]]></description>

As well as (again regrettably) adopting the grungy buttons look pioneered by YouTube and adopted, with predictably shiny excesses, by Windows. Or is this just a conservative [...]]]></description>
