Caltrain Schedule for Mobile Phones
Go mobile and save some trees and polar bears at the same time! Now you can access Caltrain schedule on your web-enabled cell phones at http://m.iCaltrain.com. It's a simpler version of the iPhone site that should render well on most modern mobile browsers. I've tested it on Palm, Windows Mobile, Nokia, and Samsung phones.

3 Steps to Activate the iPhone without AT&T Service
This is a step-by-step guide to activate and unlock your iPhone without AT&T service. It will let you use Safari and other iPhone apps (except YouTube) over WiFi.
On July 3rd, DVD Jon published techniques to unlock the iPhone and activate it without AT&T service. It is not SIM unlock so it won't let you use your iPhone on other GSM networks (e.g. T-mobile). On July 10th, PQ DVD streamlined the techniques into a single, one-click Windows app.
Step 1: Install iTunes 7.3.0.54. No other versions of iTunes are currently supported. Apple released v7.3.1.3 on July 11th, so you'll need to find an archived version. At the time of writing, you can find v7.3.0.54 here.
Optional step: Connect your iPhone over USB and verify that it's detected by iTunes, then quit iTunes.
Step 2: Run iPhone Unlock Toolkit, and click the "Unlock iPhone" button. It streamlines the process of patching iTunes, adding an entry for albert.apple.com to your etc/hosts file, and running a local server to respond to the activation request.
Step 3: Disconnect and re-connect your iPhone. iTunes will detect the iPhone, start automatically, and ask you to activate your iPhone. Click "Cancel" and you're done!

Best Practices for Performance and Memory for Flash Lite
Adobe Flash Lite online live seminar: Best Practices for Performance and Memory for Flash Lite and Developer Center article.
Some takeaways:
Some takeaways:
- Help the garbage collector by explicitly deleting objects (e.g. XML) and setting local objects to null. It's unclear how setting local objects helps because the reference count should go to zero once it's out of scope.
- fscommand2("GetFreePlayerMemory") returns the size of the largest contiguous block of memory that can be allocated by the player, not total free memory.
