		<description><![CDATA[For the last eight years, I have seen articles proclaiming that Linux is almost ready for the Desktop. In fact, on sites like Slashdot, comments along those lines tend to get modded as &#8216;Funny&#8217;. But the tide seems to be turning. AMD is reportedly backing an open-source project that is looking to port the Android [...]]]></description>

This update, however, does not just improve the functionality, but promotes everybody to speak the same language. The open web, or a standardised architecture, is very promising and this doesn&#8217;t necessarily need [...]]]></description>
