Here's the Super User FAQ:
Super User is for computer enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about ...
- computer hardware
- computer software
and it is not about ...
- videogames or consoles
- websites or web services like Facebook, Twitter, and WordPress
- electronic devices, media players, cell phones or smart phones, except insofar as they interface with your computer
- a shopping or buying recommendation
... then you're in the right place to ask your question!
We could just use this as a guide with tweaks for our site. Here's an example:
Apple Stack Exchange is for Apple enthusiasts and power users. If you have a question about ...
- Apple hardware
- Apple software
- other Apple products or services
and it is not about ...
- Apple Developer Programs or programming, with the exception of AppleScript and Automator
- installing or using Apple operating systems on non-Apple hardware
- a shopping or buying recommendation
... then you're in the right place to ask your question!
We need to flesh out the two sections a bit more, but it's a start.
To seasoned users of both stacks, the overlap/distinction may be obvious.
Newcomers might appreciate a more upfront one-line summary (amongst FAQ) helping them to deciding which stack will be most appropriate for their question.

I guess that I should promote Ask Different, whilst maintaining awareness of Super User and the overlap.

A user might view iPad as a computer, but Super User (for computer enthusiasts and power users) prefers iPad questions elsewhere, because iOS was primarily phone-oriented.
How can I help promote Ask Different as a new version of OS X is released? (2011-07-20) encourages questions "no matter how silly", which is, I guessed aimed at seasoned users who know where to draw the line with silliness :-)
