What fingers do I need to use for hitting Control, Option and Command buttons on Apple keyboard? Not that I know of... each one has their own habits which are kind of hard to change. |

How is the battery level calculated in the magic mouse? They should award a Nobel prize to the first guy who can correctly predict how much battery I have left in my devices... it always progresses like 90%... 85%... 75%... 35%... 15%...BEEP BEEP! |

How can I check for available entropy? It further says that: "If the SecurityServer system daemon fails for any reason, output quality will suffer over time without any explicit indication from the random device itself" I'll admit that OSX has made it easy to not have to worry about the actual entropy value, but doesn't mean that there isn't one... Btw, I was referring to this man page in my quotes above |

How can I check for available entropy? This is not entirely correct. Using an algorithm does't make it infinite entropy. What they mean is that on Linux, it blocks when the entropy pool is low, whereas on mac: "Additional entropy is fed to the generator regularly by the SecurityServer daemon from random jitter mea surements of the kernel." So basically, it takes care of it and also saves some entropy to disk for use immediately after startup. It also says that while Yarrow is resilient, the quality is dependent on regular addition of entropy — something which won't be necessary if it were truly infinite entropy |
