   Well, photosynthesis has been deployed some million years ago and works rather well. Stop deforestation, manage forest wisely and start using wood again. 1 m3 wood = 1 ton of CO2 sequestered.

   As far as I understand it, this will verify checksums within the time machine backup by comparing hashes with the ones that were created during backup. However, it will not compare the files against the ones on the system. So it protecte ag

    I do it even though I have legal copies of Microsoft Office and Adobe software. It is incredible how often these apps send around data even while I am not using them and have no live.com account.

    I also learned this the hard way recently. I have always been extremely busy. But finishing a large project, such as a PhD, forced me to learn that one needs to check at least 1 or 2 of these boxes on the todo list in the evening. Otherwise

    The weird thing is that Apple did not use all the space they possibly could for the battery. Have a look at the teardowns. There is room to put ca. 5% more battery. Supposedly they wanted to stay below 3 pounds. That is the amount the other

    I can see the marketing storyline: 3.0 pounds sounds cooler than 10+h battery life. Because: 10 hours = 1 working day = enough

    Thanks for the insight. Makes me understand what is going on "on the other side". Although the message is a bit sad. If you don't scream loud enough it doesn't get fixed. Steve Jobs seemed to have an ear or the 0.1% :) I

    Whatever the case may be. I think there are plenty examples where situations escalated simply because the company ignored an urgent and justified request. I remember calling AppleCare and the poor guy on the phone admitted that there was a
