MyWi – iPhone internet for you and friends
Having jailbroken my iPhone a few months back. One of the most invaluable apps is MyWi. MyWi creates a WiFi access point for your laptop (and the laptop of friends) to connect to. No need to create an ad-hoc network, nada.
Performance is pretty decent.

Windows 7 – Quick Review “I like it!”

Pretty nice setup, better performer, current tech and [...]

Unemployed? How about a free Flex Builder license?
Adobe is offering for a limited time a personal license for Flex Builder for those that have fallen on hard times (ie: unemployed).
