2011/07/20 | 1,209 | 4,002 | <issue_start>username_0: Apple has an annoying tendency to release new versions of the MacBooks and just call them "New" without really naming them or giving them version numbers.
For example today's new MacBook Air is supposed to be faster than yesterday's MacBook Air, and there are lots of technical differences, too... |
2011/07/20 | 750 | 3,244 | <issue_start>username_0: This time, the latest and greatest is Lion, but this has all happened before, and it will all happen again. There will be zillions of mac users upgrading, and they'll have lots of questions. And since all those questions will be new, Ask Different will have as good a shot at having the best ans... |
2011/07/22 | 308 | 1,193 | <issue_start>username_0: Now that Lion is out, would be great to have a wiki-type thread to track best hidden tips/tricks/tweaks for Lion. Curious if this is a good topic for AD, or if I should take it to Quora instead ;)
Previously it would have been a Community Wiki, but I see that feature is now gone. (right?)<issu... |
2011/07/27 | 682 | 2,596 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm just dropping in to introduce myself. My name's Abby (you may have gathered this already), and I work for Stack Exchange as a member of their brand new CHAOS team. I've been given temporary moderator privileges on Ask Different for a special project. My assignment is to use these privileges... |
2011/07/28 | 802 | 2,697 | <issue_start>username_0: Or does it even matter?
As I [mentioned yesterday](https://apple.meta.stackexchange.com/questions/606/who-is-this-character-with-the-and-the-running-around-editing-all-these-post), I'm editing a ton of question titles. I tend to change OSX to OS X just out of personal preference, but I wonder ... |
2011/07/29 | 1,166 | 3,815 | <issue_start>username_0: I know which is linguistically correct, but I want to know what you guys prefer to use here.
So:
MacBook Pros or MacBooks Pro?
iPod Touches or iPods Touch?
AirPort Extremes or AirPorts Extreme?
Et cetera.
(Please let me know if there's some other way for me to get these little nitp... |
2011/08/01 | 558 | 2,201 | <issue_start>username_0: This week, Ask Different is sponsoring the Daring Fireball RSS feed. This means Gruber will run a little ad for Ask Different in the [RSS feed](http://daringfireball.net/index.xml). I believe there will also be a plug live on the [Daring Fireball homepage](http://daringfireball.net/) on Friday,... |
2011/08/02 | 1,614 | 6,008 | <issue_start>username_0: Problem
=======
Looking ahead: expect confusion to arise from Apple's commonplace use of one word *FileVault* — without a version number — for two **very different** technologies.
(Versions 1 and 2 both involve encryption, but encryption is applied at totally different levels.)
Options (not... |
2011/08/03 | 816 | 2,952 | <issue_start>username_0: Is the pale blue *too* pale?
============================
I think so, but alternative answers will be appreciated.
Thank you
Background

I'm usually a careful reader, but at least twice I have missed things of importance, because of the paleness of the pale blue text that is curr... |
2011/08/05 | 346 | 1,484 | <issue_start>username_0: I have several questions that have not been answered and consequently, they floated to the bottom of the question list. How do I get the question more towards the top again?<issue_comment>username_1: Oops, I figured this out. I just edited the question and the question went back up to the top.

2011/08/07 | 453 | 1,688 | <issue_start>username_0: A while ago I got an email explaining that I was in the top 100 (or something) users and would receive some free stuff like a shirt and stickers if I filled in a form (which I did).
I would just like to know if anyone has got theirs or if they have not been sent yet. I'm not being picky, just ... |
2011/08/07 | 620 | 2,251 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm having the same problem as the poster of [this question](https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/19156/have-to-reconnect-to-wifi-every-time-computer-goes-to-sleep). That question has a few different answers, and one of them is accepted by the OP, so I assume his or her problem is fixed.

2011/08/07 | 1,133 | 4,648 | <issue_start>username_0: IMHO Ask Different needs a blog seeing as other SE sites have one. If you are interested in helping out post an answer addressing these points provided by <NAME> here: [How are blogs created?](https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/91407/area-51-for-blogs/91509#91509)

2011/08/09 | 317 | 1,243 | <issue_start>username_0: On the user pages there's now a light blue border around the bottom, left, and right of the Gravatar:
I suspect that the border area around the image has grown and caused this - I don't remember the border being right up nex... |
2011/08/09 | 362 | 1,368 | <issue_start>username_0: I was looking for a private room on Ask Different chat - and saw the link I usually follow at the top gone.
It's still in the link roll at the bottom, but I kind of liked it at the top.
Is this a temporary removal or something more permanent?
 between Ask Different and Stack Overflow. My thanks to everyone who has volunteered so fa... |
2011/08/10 | 2,106 | 8,071 | <issue_start>username_0: It would be easy and useful to put the most-commonly-used keyboard shortcut characters (such as ⌃⌥⇧⌘⎋⏏⌫↑⇡↖⇞⇥, and perhaps others — see [here](http://pastie.org/4011) for a list, which you can also place at `~/Library/Key Bindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict` to type these characters easily) somewher... |
2011/08/12 | 1,574 | 6,187 | <issue_start>username_0: ok, the title is a little bit aggressive.
I'm relatively new here, but the examples of 'community wiki' that I've seen so far seem to be actively detrimental to the web site. For example, the 'What Lion bugs irritate you the most?' thread takes lots of good questions and answers that could (sh... |
2011/08/16 | 522 | 2,095 | <issue_start>username_0: When offering a Bounty, the points are immediately removed from your reputation score. It's like they are put in escrow in some purgatory until they are either awarded or the time is up. Would it not be better for them to remain shown against a users total, and removed only when they have been ... |
2011/08/28 | 295 | 1,262 | <issue_start>username_0: I've heard "OP" used on several SE sites. I **think** it refers to the person asking the question. Is that right? Where do those abbreviations come from? Is there a specific FAQ type page that contains a list of these abbreviations?<issue_comment>username_1: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intern... |
2011/08/30 | 454 | 1,513 | <issue_start>username_0: How long do I have to wait before the "Start bounty" button appears on one of my questions? I have a question that hasn't been answered yet and I would like to put a bounty on it, but the button hasn't shown up yet? Are there other rules that apply to when the bounty button appears?<issue_comme... |
2011/08/31 | 425 | 1,789 | <issue_start>username_0: How does reviewing new posts give you more flagging weight? When I was looking at the badges, I noticed the "Deputy" badge = "Achieved a flag weight of 500 by reviewing and flagging appropriately" Does this mean you by reviewing new posts you will gain flagging weight, or you go to the posts an... |
2011/09/06 | 1,041 | 4,401 | <issue_start>username_0: I asked this question on Ask Different:

2011/09/12 | 1,892 | 7,761 | <issue_start>username_0: Ask Different seems to be one of the larger and more popular SE sites, yet the voting is on par with some of the smallest in-beta sites. Other than the hyper-popular "your favorite tip/trick" type question, it looks like most questions get between 0-3 votes and seems like answers get that as we... |

2011/09/17 | 465 | 1,897 | <issue_start>username_0: THe FAQ makes it clear that prerelease software requiring an NDA is off-topic for the site. But not all pre-release software requires an NDA. Is pre-release software that doesn't require an NDA an allowable topic?
