I just found that latest imac use too much power when sleeping.
Normally it should be 1-3watt, but mine uses 20-30watt.
#4150 is sleeping, #4151 is awake.
Anybody has the same problem?

Skype?

A Microsoft product ruining a Mac?

Can't believe it.

Who could have imagined?

I am pretty sure that most of the few Mac hangings I experienced in ten years were Microsoft's fault.

Thanks for sharing anyway.
