		<description><![CDATA[http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2010/01/new-approach-to-china.html
This is big news.  Google will likely shutdown operations in China due to highly sophisticated and targeted cyberattacks resulting in the theft of some Google IP and:
&#8220;we have evidence to suggest that a primary goal of the attackers was accessing the Gmail accounts of Chinese human rights activists.&#8221;
Google has reported it to the relevant authorities, [...]]]></description>

This is fantastic. Microsoft FINALLY lost a patent case!  Starting January 11 2010, MS Word and Office will be barred from sale, permanently.
Of course, MS has said that versions of the software are in development that do not contain the infringing features, so if all goes well, you won&#8217;t notice a single thing different [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Full Story
From the article:
&#8220;Some of its communications technology is proprietary, so widely used encryption systems aren&#8217;t readily compatible, said people familiar with the matter.&#8221;
Some people say &#8220;military intelligence&#8221; is an oxymoron.  In this situation, they&#8217;d be correct.  I&#8217;d have thought the military would have known better than to use proprietary software in a spy plane.

            God is very much a part of our society today.  Even so, when the deity is examined closely, obvious flaws are discovered.  Therefore, a new perspective of the deity is needed to account for these lapses in understanding.  God has two different perspectives; the being of God, and the concept of God.  Unlike the [...]]]></description>

A bold statement only if one ignores the origins of the term &#8220;intelligent design&#8221; as it is used today.

In short, creation science is an attempt to scientifically validate the Biblical account of creation.
Modern creationism emerged shortly after the conclusion of World War I, when Christian fundamentalism [...]]]></description>
