More generally, write down ideas when they happen. An idea may be crap or brilliance, but it's worth nothing for sure if you don't remember it in the first place.

It depends how long you've had your previous iPhone (and which one you had). I believe you have to have had your previous phone for at least a year to qualify for the prices you listed.

I'd bet against a "lite" iPhone for now, since Apple is still locked into AT&T for another year. If they wanted to release a new "iPhone Mini", it would make sense to do so when (or if) they open up to other carriers, to make a play at

18mm thick — about 3/4 of an inch. Hopefully it'll be light too. I'm impressed. Maybe this TechCrunch tablet has potential after all.

Borrowing someone else's car would save you the most money. (It has problems of its own, as others have pointed out.) That said, choosing between buying older and newer is a tradeoff between risk versus cost. The older a car, the more lik

I'm really impressed that Palm was able to create a product with the potential of the Pre, given the number of nails in Palm's coffin before this. With Rubenstein at the helm (being a previous Apple guy), they just might pull this off. Not

MIME isn't complicated, nor does it look any more jumbled than XMPP.

Agreed that it's an annoyance. Since Python requires quotes, I've grown accustomed to using the quotes when needed, even though it looks less clean. According to the JSON spec ( http://json.org/ ), the quotes are required -- so it makes sen

Not perfectly in sync with your question, but somewhat relevant: I graduated this past weekend, and I plan to work on my startup full-time now. When faced with the barrage of questions asking "So, do you have a job?", I force myself to expl
