I work for IBM as a Web 2.0/Dojo consultant. I blog on Dojo and related topics at Dojo Tips 'n' Tricks. I also have a personal blog where I write on other subjects, sometimes technical.

Mail App is using internet connection to capacity (Retina Macbook Pro Early 2013) Unless you are receiving lots of email all the time, this is not normal - you should see a spike in traffic every 15 mins, that virtually 0 the rest of the time. I assume you have tried restarting Mail.app? |

Keeping a VMWare View session alive? Why the downvote? This question is OS X specific, and is a valid issue. |

Keeping a VMWare View session alive? This doesn't work; the remote side blocks pings on a network level. Moreover, I doubt this would stop the VMWare View session terminating itself; it doesn't involve interacting through the VMWare View channel itself. Have you tested this with VMWare View? |

Why does my iPhone keep prompting me for my Apple ID? It seems this may have been related to Skype; I think I'd got it into a confused state where I'd "half-purchased" some more credit through the Apple Store. Uninstalling and reinstalling the Skype app seems to have fixed it. Watch this space... |

iPhone text messages I don't think this is correct; there is no technical way, simply by reading the SMS, that anyone can be notified you have read it. Is there any concrete evidence that this has happened? |

Can a FileVault-encrypted partition be accessed using a password I supplied during OS X install? Thanks. This doesn't really address my question, however. I understand what the recovery key is for. My question is really whether there is a separate password for the encrypted partition which is NOT my user's password or the recovery key, which by default (I could imagine) was set to be the same as the old password, and which may not have been changed when mine was compromised. |

Folder in root greyed out in Finder but accessible in Terminal Especially since the original link has disappeared, it's worth pointing out that the SetFile command is part of the XCode command-line tools. |

What are some effective ways to save power when using my MacBook Pro? This really seems to work (at least using it to identify programs which are forcing the switch into discrete mode, and killing them). Good tip, thanks. |
