It's not about which phone had features X, Y, and Z first. The iPhone is: known to focus on usability; made by Apple; has iTunes, a big screen, a great screen, a wide screen; has a PDA brother -- the iTouch; runs a version of a real operati

I suggest you revisit the handheld arena with an open mind in 2008. Some things still apply, but with bigger screens, always-on internet connectivity, and built-in web browsers that support full html and sometimes flash and ajax, handhelds

I got an expired link when I clicked submit, and when I backtracked, the form no longer contained my data. I successfully submitted a new instance of a blank application a few times (it accepted blank input.) Then I submitted my real appli

There's a bigger and cooler reason to explain this than the perceived lack of competence pg has in single founders. Something hard to imagine until you think about it is that it will be impossible to find someone to join you when you're alr

An enclosed structure located where you're describing would be under incredible pressure from the water above, unless it's close to the surface. Also you would need people to man it. They wouldn't last long without sunlight. Finally, har

I'm sure many of us have thought of this before but don't see a point in attempting any new idea until one can find other programmers and getting investment behind it. Otherwise, no matter how good you are, you're just one guy wherever you

For postage, just go to a USPS "Automated Postal Center", select a size, place the package on the scale, select a package, zip code, delivery, and confirm. It may take 5 steps but may only take 30 seconds per item. Pay with your credit card
