How does iMessage know that the recipient is an iOS 5 device? How do you de-register a device though? In the case of activating a friends iPhone with your SIM or if your iPhone is stolen? Further reading: arstechnica.com/apple/news/2011/12/… |

Send background email alert if Time Machine backup fails Thanks - that's a great answer, however I'm hoping for something simpler, and ideally prepackaged. I guess where it could fall apart is on the emailing side, since it would require SMTP credentials to successfully send email |

How can I use iCloud to sync my contacts, while also syncing my contacts with Google? How is this still so poorly thought out in late 2011? |

Does Google Chrome have a significant impact on MacBook battery life compared to other browsers? Someone on Quora (quora.com/Is-Google-Chrome-MacBook-friendly/answer/…) just tipped me to FlashFrozen (flashfrozen.net), which is a menubar util that monitors how much CPU Flash is using on your system and will kill it system wide as needed. Hopefully this will help with battery life (& system heat!) |

MacBook Pro Kernel Panic on Boot - even without a hard drive installed no, just figured I'd go for a 2nd opinion here :) - have a 'diagnostic' appointment with the Genius Bar tomorrow, but this machine is out of warranty, so dead logic board means it's a write off... |
