As another example, you can look at the [Apple Publications Style Guide](http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/documentation/userexperience/conceptual/APStyleGuide/APSG_2009.pdf) (2009 version; 224 page PDF).

It includes information such as:

- Their funky capitalization  
ex: Mac mini vs. Mac Pro
- The right way to spell Blu-ray
- When to use _camcorder_ versus _video camera_
- Use of _dialog_ versus _dialog box_
- General language usage  
ex: "_comprise_: A whole _comprises_ parts. Parts _constitute_ a whole. Don’t use _is comprised of_."
- When to use the em dash, en dash, hyphen, and minus characters.

Basically, it contains a little of everything from general English usage to specific information about products. If you write about tech, it's a very handy resource to keep around.
