Multiplicative structure and power operations have been used to great effect in many familiar spectral sequences. One main application is an easy proof of the collapse of a spectral sequence or a computation of the multiplicative structure or power operations on the target of a spectral sequence. In the case of the Adams spectral sequence one can do more. In his thesis, Bruner gave definitive formulas for differentials in the Adams spectral sequence of an H_oo-ring spectrum. In particular, this gives a nice intuitive explanation of the Hopf invariant one differential d_2(h_{i+1})=h_0h_i^2. In explaining this differential, we will expose the moving parts of such a result. We will also present a C_2-equivariant form of some of Bruner's results.
