cmd + alt + eject is the sleep you're thinking about. ctrl + shift + eject is just for the displays :)

It's not hard to track you even this way, if you're using the same browser. You already have a unique code assigned to you (the session id) and they can make a permanent cookie too, so it will be the same the next time you open the browser.

You can link apps in iOS too. You can do a simple test: open safari and type fb://feed and it will open the facebook app and go to your wall. More: http://wiki.akosma.com/IPhone_URL_Schemes#Registering_your_o...

They said the same thing when 7 came out... I'm on 8 and it still eats 1.2GB+ of RAM out of 4 at the end of the day. I'm still using it only because of Firebug.

I don't know how is in Iran, but I can tell you how it was in Romania before 1989 (and I guess that's pretty close to what is happening there). It was close to impossible to emigrate legally, they would use anything to stop you. They would

I'm doing it a little simpler and I think it's even easier to spot missed translations. Let's say there's a text that translated in english would be: 'Please type your username and do something'. Instead of using plain english as the sour
