warning about sleep mode on MB and MBP
#4
I'd like to hear more evidence about this. At work people walk around "all the time" with their PBs and MBPs open, like waiters holding a dinner tray.

Don't know why exactly, but maybe it's because they're only going a short distance and don't want to have to wait for sleep/unsleep.

Presumably, these laptops aren't writing much to their HDs during the move, but they are moving around with spinning HDs.

Maybe there's something different about a HD's actuating arm moving back and forth (such as during an big, active write) that makes it want to slam into something if the HD is bounced around?
