@Kevin Purdy: Only as you're willing to share, that is. I just wanted to spark some thought and other input on the depression/caffeine link. Read more

@♥AntiSocialSocialite♥: If it's cool with you, can I ask for the specific effects? Read more

@Howard Blair: Thanks, fixing now. Read more

@senshikaze: Usually, the warning only comes up once, and you're right—after it's in Applications, it goes away. Read more

@elindemann: I've heard a lot of yay and nay on the actual effectiveness of ReadyBoost, both on general principle, and with a "depends on your thumb drive" caveat. Read more

@Bilsko: Agreed. And that's where much of the post's debunking information comes from. Read more

@MacAttack: I'll consider PeaceKeeper for future tests. Stuck with Dromaeo for parity with Windows tests. Read more

@jeremiah89: Sure, but I'd never be able to track down an even platform match. Even BootCamp on a Mac, there'd be driver/hardware use differences. So take these for what they are. Read more

@xsnred: Oddly enough, my charts "don't mean shit," but they mean enough for you to drop your comment. Thanks. Read more

@zF23: To my knowledge, IE9 Preview is just a software kit, not a full-fledged browser release. As such, I can't point it at Dromaeo, load nine tabs from a bookmark bar, or time it on any start-up measures. Read more

@tuftesaysnofaux3d: Not a bad thought. I'll look at how the bars look without the fake 3D. Call me a sucker for "slick"-looking charts. Read more

@★DoYouLikeToastToo?: As soon as I take a nap, get some coffee, and find a moment to kidnap my wife's MacBook, maybe ;) Read more

@downdb: Very belated, but thank you for the step-by-step, which I should have provided in the first place. Read more

@mjschmidt: Boom. Read more

@SigmundTheSeaMonster: As an Adirondacks vacation veteran, and lifelong upstate resident, I would like to say: You are not kidding. Read more

@iceph03nix: Seems to work well enough, though, judging from other aspects of the pic. Read more
