I've just been involved in a long thread with an individual who wanted to better understand the relationship between ColdFusion and Flex. Apparently, this is still a source of much confusion as I was asked similar questions at a user group earlier this week. So, I went back through the entire...

Google Local, in beta at http://local.google.com/, allows for Google searching relevant to addresses (only US for now). Googlism at http://www.googlism.com/index.htm is a strange, but fun, Google search tool. Type in your name, a product name, and more, to obtain a quick list of extraced quotes.

I am an AT&T Wireless customer, and have been for several years. Between my various phones, data plans, International callings plans, and more, I pay them thousands of dollars a year. And today I wanted to give them even more money. AT&T is rolling out EDGE over GPRS, it should provide data...
