Things that need a "For Dummies" book:

- Catholicism
- Wine
- C++
- AutoCAD
- Cricket

Things that shouldn't need a "For Dummies" book:
- cell phones

Any cell phone that needs a "For Dummies" book written about it is a poorly-designed phone.

The book later got cancelled when the publishers learnt that they'd covered pretty much all of it in an HTML programming book. Still, by that time I was already under contract and got paid a couple grand for basically doing nothing.]]>Jan 30th 2009 10:54PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/Jan 31st 2009 2:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/they can have conflicts of interest as much as they want

It makes people feel smart, especially if they know what a phone is, and this book explains it to them.

just as any 'dummy' book, if it starts explaining what something is, and you turn the page; skipping the text b/c you already know it, u feel like ur one step ahead of everyone else.]]>Jan 30th 2009 7:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/
Very true. But I won't lie, I had to learn C# once for a special, time limited, project and I borrowed a C for Dummies book. In short, I got the job done, but to be honest, I don't think I would ever buy a "For Dummies" book.]]>Jan 31st 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/Jan 30th 2009 7:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/http://www.engadget.com/2009/01/30/buy-this-book-chris-zieglers-t-mobile-g1-for-dummies/
