You won't need to log in to use VNC if you're running a recent version of OS X. If you enable VNC in the remote desktop settings, VNC clients are presented with a separate login screen from the one on the live monitor.

comment How to determine which apps iTunes will copy from iOS, to stop a deleted app being resurrected?
The only thing "useful" about app syncing is that you can preserve a specific version, if you need to do so. You'll always download the newest version from the App Store on a device. But I agree that in the vast majority of cases, app syncing isn't worth the hassle.

Macs will definitely boot without a keyboard, but you may get a dialog box at the login screen (to help you pair a bluetooth keyboard).

I don't have a specific answer, but Keynote can open PowerPoint presentations. It might be easier to generate one of those form your markdown files.

comment Can a 2009 MacBook Pro use more memory than Apple's 'maximum RAM' figure of 8 GB?
It's not necessarily just the availability of RAM modules, but also compatibility with the memory controller or other parts of the system. I don't know about your specific model, but this has worked for me in the past. Maybe you could find a store with a good return policy on RAM? :)

comment Dashboard Widget for persistently editing a file
I don't think this is quite correct. The documentation clearly states that Dashboard widgets can request permission to read files directly from the filesystem, or to run arbitrary command-line programs.
