comment Chax with Lion: downgrading iChat to 5.0.3?
Chax is far out of date. I suggest a future proof solution to the problem involving a direct fix for your desire rather than crobarring chad into place on a newer version of ichat.

comment Can I set the volume on my iPhone lower than the slider goes?
WHen you limit the volume, i think it scales the range of the volume slider (for example, the slider all the way right is only 50% of the total possible volume). That way, it should allow more accurate increments.

LED screens ARE lcd… Typical LCD screens use a fluorescent backlight, an LED screen is an LCD screen with an LED based backlight.

comment spaces and dual monitor: separate setup for each monitor?
"(I wonder why this isn't even the default because it seems to me like it makes more sense.)" It defeats the purpose of spaces: to have configurations of multiple windows which you can alternate between

Why doesn't the sensor work from the optical drive's SATA connector? Isn't it just the same ol' SATA?

Is the monitor DVI compatible? VGA Will give inferior image quality and requires manual positioning/sizing of the imaging.

comment Is there an iPhone App for reading PDF files?
I highly recommend this because safari supports downloading of PDFs right into iBooks. Also i find that the rendering is great, and iBooks' built in brightness display is awesome!

comment Should I create a Bootcamp partition (even if i plan on using parallels)?
You must have misunderstood me. Parallels can run off of a BOOTCAMP partition, virtualizing Windows as if it was in a parallel's virtual image, but also allowing you to boot into Windows directly if you want extra performance.

comment Should I create a Bootcamp partition (even if i plan on using parallels)?
Yes, the graphics card emulated by Parallel's is kinda sketchy. You can never commit 100% of your system resources to a virtualized OS, so running boot camp lets you (for example) play games with 100% of ur mac's ram and video memory, and without OS X taking up any of it.

comment Should I create a Bootcamp partition (even if i plan on using parallels)?
I think this question relates to Parallels' ability to virtualize a boot camp partition, allowing you to access same copy of windows by both fully running under boot camp, AND being able to run it in a VM
