		<description><![CDATA[If you’re still running Windows XP and need to purchase a new hard disk, you might find performance actually decrease.

		<title>LifeLock fined $12 million over lack of life-locking ability</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A while back I mentioned the CEO of identity-theft protection company Lifelock actually had his identity stolen.
