		<title>Why Mickey Mouse should keep his mouth shut</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For over a year, Walt Disney Imagineering has been testing a new technology in the Disney parks: costumed characters, like Mickey Mouse, with a spoken voice and a moving mouth.

		<title>Hey, champ, gimme a little facetime for a sec</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Listen, hey, I&#8217;ve been keeping an eye on what you&#8217;re up to, and I think it&#8217;s wonderful that you&#8217;re pissing on the seat. I think it shows forward thinking. But the shareholders, they don&#8217;t grasp the visionary stuff, and word to the wise, they&#8217;ll&#8212;not me&#8212;they&#8217;ll have your head on the chopping block if we don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>Devise reason later</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jean-Louis Gassée:


  Customers don&#8217;t make decisions with their neocortex, an organ that is too easy to bullshit. They decide within deeper, comforting recesses, and they rationalize when the culture demands a seemingly logical, socially acceptable &#8220;post-planation.&#8221;

		<title>On whose shoulders stands Atlas</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Andrew Reichart:


  [Ayn] Rand&#8217;s philosophy rests on a pretense of individualism that doesn&#8217;t reflect reality. The &#8220;self-made man&#8221; is a myth; everyone&#8217;s success is built upon the labors of those who went before them and those who labor alongside them. Whatever success we may bring upon ourselves, we have done so with the assistance [...]]]></description>
