    Foam mattresses

    Be sure to actually go to the store and lay on the mattress you intend to buy for atleast 15 minutes. Putting your knee down on it and pretending to lay for a few seconds won't help. As stated above, Tempurpedic isn't the only high quality memory foam mattress, there are several offbrands, but...

    Foam mattresses

    Depends on what you mean by foam. High quality memory foam is amazing, lower quality memory foam is not something you want for the long run, and plain old foam is just more suited for packing boxes. Take a look at a high end brand like Tempurpedic and try to do a quality comparison with what...

    6th Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread

    I was a resident of CA up until 10/2008 and made no income in CA. After 10/2008 I moved to WA and made some money. How would I file? Am I now an automatic resident of WA (which has no income tax)? When I file do I say I was a resident in both states, do I need to pay CA taxes for money I made in WA?

    Gift for girlfriend's college graduation?

    Thanks for the responses everyone. On a serious note, for every childish answer in the thread, its amazing how unoriginal you really are, she already has all the toys she needs and has been getting it in every which way imaginable.

    Alternatives to iPhone?

    If you're ok with Sprint be sure to try to get that SERO plan (employee rate plan, available for non-employees - see fatwallet) something like $30-$45 a month with unlimited data plan. You'll pay more than twice that anywhere else for a similar plan.

    Alternatives to iPhone?

    Although the HTC Touch has a nice form factor, it still runs on Windows Mobile. Because of that there is really no difference between it and any other windows mobile phone out there (they all suck). Theres nothing revolutionary about the HTC Touch anyway, just a crappy interface that looks cool...

    Gift for girlfriend's college graduation?

    To everyone who already gave a smartass reply, grow up. Its obvious that the first thing that comes to your minds is sexual, because you aren't getting any. I don't need a special occasion to get what I want.

    Gift for girlfriend's college graduation?

    My girlfriend is graduating from undergrad in a few weeks, I need to get her a gift. She told me "nothing over $20" but as usual I think thats chick-speak saying "I better not get a $20 gift". Any ideas? I would get her a camera but I think she asked her parents for one...

    A serious question about Google

    From what I've heard the 20% time bit is a little overstated by Google PR. Your project has to be related to improving an existing Google product (usually the one you work on) and must be management approved. That doesn't really sound like "your time" since you are really just doing your job...

    Can you deposit a check written to more than one person?

    Ugh, I guess I'll just meet up with them and go to the bank. Maybe I should tell my roomate to try to squeeze in an "OR" between our names ;)
