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

Change the mouse wheel scrolling acceleration I bought SteerMouse. As a developer I am happy to support another developer who makes my experience better. Open Source is a fine idea, but sometimes you just need one guy with a vision. |

How can I browse WWDC session videos directly on my iOS device or AppleTV? Streaming I don't know about since I always do "view in iTunes" and then download, I usually watch session videos on public transport so would rather not do it over 3G. |

Tips on avoiding “Could not activate cellular data network” with New iPad Since the 5.1.1 update this has not occurred again although I have been trying to make it happen, to gather data for the radar issue I filed. |

Synchronise/Merge MP3 collections without duplication or huge copies iCloud is taking care of this, mostly. It's worth a bounty in case anyone has a really clever solution. Is there some Mac-based deduplication technology that could help? (and this could also apply to images) |

Nook Comics on iPad? My answer is no, not without breaking DRM. It's a shame but that's DRM - paidcontent.org/2012/04/24/breaking-drm-publishing-exec - if I buy it I need to know I can un-DRM it, because it is very unlikely I'll read exclusively on a Nook for the rest of my life. |

Airport extreme base station won't turn on Do you have a meter to test the AEBS power supply with? There's a chance it is the power supply shutting down and removing it from the wall could allow it to reset its overload protection (if it has any) and bring it back to life. |

Is it true that any external hard drive made for the PC, can be used by a Mac running Lion? Other problems with FAT32 - 32GB maximum partition size, inefficient storage (files occupy more space than they should) due to cluster allocation method, also they use ugly uppercase names in Finder. If you must have the widest compatibility it is best but has some disadvantages. |

Detect single-user mode from the command line If that's consistent Scot, it might be very convenient! |

Can anyone recommend a programmers' editor? BBEdit is great, I'm not an advanced user but it solves problems for me that TextMate and Xcode can't. Try opening multi-megabyte files of raw data in TextMate... (which I bought first) |

Should I buy Ram memory DDR3 1066MHz for Mac mini (Mid 2011)? Really, any will work fine? Apple says support.apple.com/kb/HT4805 - that's 1333MHz they specify and not 1066MHz. Any retailer yes, as I also said, IF you're prepared to do the research and be absolutely sure. |

Tips on avoiding “Could not activate cellular data network” with New iPad I would have thought I had any required setting but could try it again I suppose. I did sync to restore my old iPad's backup data to the new one. |

2 instances of Xcode installed? Don't delete the /Developer folder - run the script and let it uninstall itself first. Most times on a Mac I agree you can just trash the folder but not this time. |

Are Apple keyboards multi-key rollover? I don't believe any USB keyboard can achieve true n-key rollover. If you take a PS/2 keyboard that is, and give it a USB converter to make it work on your Mac, then it isn't! It's a USB limitation. |

Where are [ and ] in a French keyboard? @Tom, you're right, ']' is shared with what looks like the degrees symbol, not zero. Updated. |

Does an iPad consume more battery power when there are multiple applications open? Your reasoning is sound. I just feel the solution to all of the cases where an app might use excessive background resources is to get a better app! I've never experienced the hot phone except when using Personal Hotspot. Cases 1, 3 - user behavior needs modifying, may as well do that rather than kill all apps. Cases 2, 4, 5 - bad apps. |

Removing, or minimizing, scratches on the top of a Magic Mouse great answer R.M. - "flame polish" will work if the plastic is the right kind and if you're a pro with the torch but the best way is patience, progressive grits and elbow grease. Micro-mesh is one brand name for plastic restoration kits with all but the clear coat spray included. |

Copying the current directory's path to the clipboard It says in the question "I would like a command-line way of determining the working directory of the "current" Finder window." - are you not asking to get the path of the current Finder window in terminal, Hippo? |
