		<description><![CDATA[The idea that a machine could perform the tasks of any other machine is the description of a Universal (Turing) machine. Its invention is considered by many to have been  one of the major landmarks giving rise to the field of computer science. &#8216;Universal&#8217; means that one can &#8216;program&#8217; a general-purpose machine to perform [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Having quit his studies in physics, Theo Jansen became an artist. In this video he demonstrates his amazing life-like kinetic sculptures, built from plastic tubes and bottles. His Beach Creatures or Strandbeest are built to move and even survive on their own:

I&#8217;ve been in touch with Theo Jansen recently. For further details about his creations [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[New Steven Pinker article on Consciousness:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,1580394-1,00.html
with good links to related articles.

Science has long recognized that old problems can become meaningless over time. [...]]]></description>
