This worked for me when I bought my new car in September. I didn't know it was a "technique" or that it had a name. But the overall concept being described really worked for me.

I agree with this. My old strategy was to save leftover money or additional income such as bonus or gifts. There was never leftover money month to month, and the bonus that got saved eventually got spent and the savings never went up. I started a plan to automatically deposit $50 a month into the same savings account…

One technology that doesn't get mentioned a lot when dealing with networking is MOCA (multimedia over coax). I just discovered this recently and bought a pair of the Actiontec moca adapters for around $130. It works similar to a powerline adapter but uses coax instead of power line especially if your home is already…

$11 from most places, includes surge protector. I have one and always have it in my laptop bag. It also rotates 360 degrees.

I like this one!

for the 27" iMacs, you can also use a belkin av360 adapter (about $150) and hook up any hdmi source. Works great with the PS3.

You can already pay for an individual or annual subscription of certain magazines via the Zinio App. Is that different from what's being discussed here ?

I had one of these for 2 weeks then returned it. The iPad doesn't stay put and the ports and speakers get misaligned. The cover warps and doesn't stay flush when closed.

movies... you'll never watch it over and over again even if you LOVED it... I have stopped buying movies and have saved tons of cash.

it's always a good idea to check with the Apple store genius, I just replaced my broken 3G couple months ago with a refurbished unit for $90 without affecting my upgrade eligibility with at&t.

I once tried to watch The Lady In The Water 4 times on a 17 hour flight, and fell asleep every time.

For a lot of people, "work" has become more like a 24-7 affair and under those circumstances I find texting actually a lot less invasive than calling a colleague at home.

This is very sad. The fact is everyone has an opinion about something, has personal and private beliefs and everyone has fun once in a while. This is nothing new, the only difference is that now a lot of this information is publicly available with or without your knowledge. If I donate money to a political, religious…

A lot of people mention trading in a car at a dealership as the absolute worst thing without considering what kind of situation a person might be in. I once HAD to sell my car in 2 weeks because I was moving and I researched selling prices on craigslist, used car dealers and eBay. Then I went to a dealership. I was…

I've been doing this for years. It's a traditional remedy I learned from my mom. Here's a tip to make it easier: Mix the grated ginger, lemon juice and honey in a big batch to produce a concentrate then freeze it in an ice cube tray. When you need a drink just drop a cube in a mug and pour boiling water over it.

In no particular order, some of the things I have come to appreciate over time:
