comment iCloud without the Internet
If you read Jon Siracusas review, it mentions that File data transfer is also peer-to-peer, when possible. May be that it requires a internet connection to broker this. Could you be a bit more specific?

comment What is the best way to setup users in my macbook pro but still share content?
@leora In my opinion, the files you want to share should be on another network device, say a NAS, and then shared over something like UPnP (for which a server would have to be installed on the NAS), or a network share (AFP, SMB). The big payoff is that the files then can be played on any device supporting UPnP, for example midrange TVs. IF you buy stuff via iTunes (which I assume since you mentioned Apple Ids), you can run into problems with DRM however. The solution with the share should roughly be the same as with the shared folder/partition.

comment TODO manager with hierarchical TODOs?
Well, basically there is the Reminders application (introduced in 10.8) which uses CalDAV to represent and sync its reminders. It just misses the hierarchical stuff. I imagine that is the sort of SW that @CodePainters wants.

comment Does OS X enforce a maximum filename length or character restriction?
@bmike Yeah :) Do you know anything about this 1024 character limit for paths? On 10.6, this behaviour is documented in the system header files, and there is PATH_MAX variable. Still so on later systems?

comment Does OS X enforce a maximum filename length or character restriction?
That with the / is not true (10.6 here). What you can't use is : (old HFS separator), at least in the Finder. Funny thing is that / is represented as : at the shell level. Another strange limitation is that the path length is limited by 1024 bytes or UTF-8 chars, not sure which. This isn't enforced by Finder and can lead to strange behaviour.

comment Isn't it redundant to have Versions as well as Time Machine?
Good question. I like to think of Versions as a more granular storage then Time Machine, although that is not quite correct. John Siracusa gives a nice introduction.

comment Is there any way to add an ePub book to iBooks without iTunes?
Works if one uses calibre's web server, see here, and opens it with Safari on the iDevice.
