		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;We began by responding only to customer demand with our specialized service which derailed our in-house product development. It&#8217;s an easy trap to fall in as the money early on is very good. However you will eventually need to invest in your own products and core strengths to build a truly unique and profitable business. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[About 5 years ago I approached Marc Heal of Cubanate fame to &#8220;license&#8221; one of his tracks for an upcoming, free game in the spirit of Tribes 2, that I was involved in from a development perspective. The game was called &#8220;Legends&#8221;, and was a community and fan driven spiritual successor to the Tribes series [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been a brainbench.com member since 2004, way back when they still mailed you a paper version of your certificates for free when you completed an assessment. (This was cool). I&#8217;ve just recently taken one of their tests again, out of curiosity, and I have to say: They still &#8220;have it&#8221;. The questions are difficult, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly,  it turned out that Tribes:Vengeance really sucks. Vivendi cancelled the very FIRST patch for the game, with a couple of lame excuses.  Such as &#8220;we only sold 7800 copies in the first week&#8221;. It&#8217;s pretty straight forward guys.  Release a game that is broken, unfinished and no fun to play, and nobody is going [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[DataPro are one of the best ISP&#8217;s in South Africa, in my opinion. They really seem to  care about their staff and that is something I have to respect. Certainly keeps one motivated. I&#8217;ve been hosting, and dealing with them for well over 4 years now, and I have never had anything but awesome service [...]]]></description>
