		<title>Beyond the Cloud</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Today, people are talking about &#8220;cloud computing.&#8221; As in, take your web app and run it on Amazon&#8217;s virtual servers with nearly infinite extensibility. Or store all your documents on Google Docs, so you can pick them up wherever you are.

		<title>Eternal Franchise, 29.1 of 31.1</title>
		<description><![CDATA[CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE
This is something humans can intellectualize, but they cannot embrace, Shrill/Oversight thought. Harmony. Not songs of vanquish but true harmony, true cooperation. Their highest ideals shout of it, but they do not embody it.
Which is why I was given false data, Oversight said.
Which is why I cannot work with them, Shrill thought.
Not yet, Shrill/Oversight [...]]]></description>

		<title>Pure Awesome</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We can sit around and bemoan the crisis du jour, or we can do things. Things like building a suborbital spacecraft for 50,000 euros. In the words of SomethingAwful, pure awesome. Check it out.
&#8220;Wow, there are people in this world crazier than Stoddard,&#8221; you&#8217;re saying.
And you&#8217;re probably right. But the crazy guys at Copenhagen Suborbitals [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
As the Almighty McD slid to a stop on the plateau. Mouseketeer bullets peppered the sides of the crawler. Tiphani crouched instinctively below the level of the windows, pulling Yin down with her.
“Don’t worry, pretty Tiphani,” Preacher Dave said, appearing from the forward cabin. “It’s only a single flight. We’ll have them cleared in [...]]]></description>

		<title>Two Steps Beyond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s easy to focus on the shiny new technologies that are just around the corner&#8211;things like augmented reality and truly useful robots and personal manufacturing. It&#8217;s easy to see we&#8217;re heading for an even more technology-saturated world, and those technologies will be as fundamentally game-changing as television, the cellphone, and computers.

		<description><![CDATA[CHAPTER TWENTY-SEVEN
Han Fleming motioned for the black-clad Mouseketeers to spread out and guard the exit to the little concrete bunker on the plateau over Semillon Valley Farms. The cheermaster argued a bit, but finally agreed to let him go in with only two Mouseketeers for support.

A hundred light-years away, where the Shrill nodes ringed their familiar star, motion ceased.
