Website of the Day: Last Year's Model
I'm not making any promises about what I'll do if/when the new iPhone is announced next month, but I'm entirely behind the philosophy of the website Last Year's Model.
Last Year's Model advocates the virtues of not upgrading your gadgets — whether it's to save money, to be earth-conscious, or because you simply don't need to.
It seems especially timely because of the current recession, but being conscientious about upgrading (especially if you tend to do it just because you want something new) is something we should all be thinking about at any time.

Do You Future-Proof Your Gadgets?
When I buy a gadget, I try to act like it's the last version of the gadget I will buy (except for when I'm hypnotized by new iPhones, but that's not my fault. I was hypnotized!). Much like a car, I kick the tires, look under the hood, or do as much as I can to check out something before I buy it, because I want to have quality things so they last a long time.

Behind the Scenes at ILM: The Making of Indiana Jones
