How to get the most money from filling out your W-4 form
I was trying to figure out how to do the opposite. I know most people want the biggest paycheck they can, because otherwise you are just giving the government a loan until the end of the year basically.

Apple’s Buttons
There’s an odd sentiment among nerds that Steve Jobs (and the fine people at Apple) hate buttons. I have a different theory: they absolutely love buttons.
