Did you do any optimization tweaks or install any software around the
time it stopped shutting down on its own?

Don't recall for sure. It may have been close to doing a McAfee scan and
cleaning of viri though. Can't directly relate it to that though.

Kill hibernate/sleep/standby/power saving stuff.
Right click on the desktop, Select properties, go to the screen saver tab.
Power schemes tab: System standby = never
Advanced tab: When I press the power button=Shut Down
Hibernate = unchecked

The parody part of the video is Ok, what's not Ok is the untruths it spreads.
It's ignorant, non mac users are left believing this stuff. Example, he
states that he copies files from a CD to the desk top, then they vanish when
he ejects the CD. It is ignorance of how a mac works, a Mac works differently
than a PC! It's a false statement, he says he copies the files to the desk
top, on a Mac that just creates a short cut to the file, this is so you don't
create a redundant copy on your HD. A Mac user knows you need to drag/copy
the files to any other folder other than the desk top, if you want to copy
them. This would be user error/ignorance.
He says that when you delete a file, it's gone forever! Ah, yes, that is
the purpose of deleting a file! On a Mac it's called a trash can not a recycling
bin. That's why a Mac will prompt you with a message that asks you if your
sure you want to delete the file, because it will be deleted forever! When
you want something deleted, you want something deleted! Well the truth is
on a Mac the first binary is switched off so you can't see the file, but
it's still there, until you write more data to the HD. At any time the old
file can be written over and the file can be lost forever. In most cases
the files can be recovered if you don't let too much time pass. The idea
is that it is a more efficient use of HD space. When you delete something
on the Mac it reallocates the HD space back for use.
In both cases, it is ignorance of how a Mac works. He blames the Mac for
being stupid. Non Mac users are left believing that the Mac is flawed, when
in fact it is the non Mac user in the video that is flawed.
It is misuse of the product, misinformation and untruths. I'll give my over
exaggerated example. It would be like saying, this hammer isn't vary good
at chopping down trees, look at how stupid this thing is!
I understand the video is comedy, but it unfairly pokes at Macs and Mac users
with untruths.
