How does TRIM Enabler work? How do you even find this stuff?! If I run TRIM Enabler to "patch" my IOAHCIBlockStorage file and then lock it (with admin privileges), would I suffer any adverse effects? Sure I wouldn't be able to support the new PCIe SSDs (which my MacBook doesn't even have), but would it prevent any future updates from reversing the patch? |

Why can't I put some file in the trash? If they can't figure it out, they can always comment or a more in-depth step by step tutorial. It's really not that bad, even for casual users. |

Headphone jack/logic board broken? Shorting pins across an audio jack isn't that bad. Headphones by nature have a VERY low resistance, so they're not much different from the tinfoil. |

Does Avast noticeably affect battery life? Yes, but a reconsideration of this axiom resolves the question entirely. |

Does Avast noticeably affect battery life? ""The wireless web test measures battery life by wirelessly browsing 25 popular websites with display brightness set to 50%." That's the type of thing you state in your question… I guess I didn't mean "impossible", it just requires the data that you just gave me. I suggest you append this to your question. |

Does Avast noticeably affect battery life? That would be an impossible measurement to make. If I told you it uses 10% more battery, is that with the display brightness all the way up or at minimum? WiFi on or not? There are too many factors that effect battery life for a concrete answer to be possible. As I stated in my answer, I strongly recommend against the use of such software unless you frequently exchange files with other PCs. It's a waste of system resources no matter how you slice it. |

Is there way to quickly call the active contact on the Message app? Single taps suffice. |

Privacy issues: is someone watching me on my laptop? "I don't have backups!" If even you don't take yourself seriously, why should others? |

is it worth it to install SSD internally, instead of using USB3? Specs like data transfer speed often give a misrepresentation of real world performance of the interface. The latency on USB3 can be an order of magnitude higher than on SATA3, which makes a huge difference when your dealing with generally randomly access data (such as boot files, application files, etc.) |

OS X unusably unresponsive after upgrading 10.6 to 10.8 Other than the low (2GB) RAM, the 2008 MacBooks should (from my first hand experience) work perfectly fine with Mountain Lion =/ |

ALL interface icons are gone? Well it depends. The initial performance hit isn't too great. I always try to avoid clearing caches unless there's an immediate problem at hand. |
