I use aeberbach as my account name at twitter and hotmail (I could hardly get any more spam there so why not...)

Mar 30	revised	Are OS X and PureDarwin binary-compatible Improving answers won't stop underhanded individuals from downvoting and running to try and win themselves an iPad but it couldn't hurt.
Mar 30	revised	Does the 'unibody' design of the MB/MBP actually help increase the strength of the MBP/MB? consistent terms, monocoque reference, aluminium advantage list, Apple video, Ives quote.
Mar 30	comment	Does an iPad consume more battery power when there are multiple applications open? This is also a good answer :-)
Mar 30	revised	Does an iPad consume more battery power when there are multiple applications open? Jobs and Forstall quotes
Mar 30	awarded	Citizen Patrol
Mar 30	comment	Harmonic noise introduced when using an iPhone dock extension cable connected to a mic peripheral I feel like Watson watching Holmes at work here. Great answer.
Mar 30	comment	Does an iPad consume more battery power when there are multiple applications open? Right. If the app is doing nothing, no battery impact. Being in RAM uses no extra battery because the RAM is always there and readable whether it is empty or in use.
Mar 30	comment	How do I find how much disk space a program is occupying? Excellent answer, I love DaisyDisk and have used the others but they only visualise usage by folder.
Mar 30	revised	Does an iPad consume more battery power when there are multiple applications open? added 2791 characters in body
Mar 30	comment	Can the Apple 10W USB charger be used with a 7-port USB hub to charge iPad 2, iPhone 4S, and other devices at the same time when traveling? "state of the data lines" is a little misleading here. Their state is a binary 1 or 0, what is actually measured to determine charge capability is their voltage. The MintyBoost link in my answer shows actual resistor configurations and voltage levels for 500mA/1A charge rate selection.
Mar 30	revised	Is storing an iMac sideways safe? Nitrogen storage; risk of whisker formation in ROHS devices.
Mar 29	revised	Do non-retina graphics looks worse on a retina display than they did before? added 622 characters in body
Mar 29	revised	How to install Xcode from downloaded package More notes on installing supplemental apps, steps to take after installing Xcode.
Mar 29	comment	At what point do iPads stop displaying “not charging” when connected to power? This may also be interesting: apple.stackexchange.com/questions/35401/… - notes about "high power" USB ports, how the device uses sense resistors to detect what kind of port it is plugged into.
Mar 29	revised	How do I hide an icon? how to create a folder; Newsstand can't go in folders.
Mar 29	comment	MacBook frozen immediately after logging in Tried it booting from another source? Could rule out software problem. I would suggest swapping RAM but it's an Air.
Mar 28	answered	Documents confirming the legality of the software
Mar 28	comment	How significant is the new iPad's heat issue? Well said! (so glad it's dead)
Mar 28	revised	Does using a brightness reducing app save battery? added 282 characters in body
Mar 28	comment	Does using a brightness reducing app save battery? Ha, that app isn't dimming at all - in fact one review says it activates discrete graphics, so it looks like the alpha compositing problem mentioned in the last comment is right.
