		<description><![CDATA[You may have heard about Microsoft Surface before: it is a platform that allows the user direct contact to the system, i.e. using touch sensitive devices. While this is nothing short of spectacular, I think the technology has a long way to become commonplace. In the meantime, we can replicate the Surface behavior to a small [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An exciting addition to .NET Framework 3.5 is the System.Net.PeerToPeer namespace, located in the System.Net.dll assembly. The new namespace provides the core building blocks for creating peer to peer (P2P) applications in .NET.
Typically, a P2P communication has three phases:

Discovery: the process of dynamically locating peers and their associated network locations.
Connection: establishing a network connection between [...]]]></description>
