For all those times that you needed to change the position, magnifcation and scaling effect in the kind of hurry that couldn't wait for System Preference to load I have a tip for you. Actually, it is another fine tip only for pros, so recreation macinbytes beware.

Truth be told, a mere control click (or right-click for PC minded crowd) on the seperator of The Dock will actually bring up a contextual menu that contains all of these things. Read a more pro description here

For a company that has somewhat of a responsibilty to humanity for the bastard of a software empire, Microsoft's Mac site sucks a massive amount of bawls. Bastardized drivers that take your mouse away from your mac and helpful hints on how to backsave which any moron would know before they were forced behind the devil that is Microsoft Office. I think I may hate the Mac version more than the PC version simply because it is a good system that is forced to run a powerfully bad idea, though one that is mostly conformant to the Aqua Human Interface Guidelines. I still wish Bill would take PowerPoint out back and shoot it, let the boys in software design come up with a better way to make life miserable.

Apple - Pro - Tip of the Week

I was checking out Exposé Show-off Trick #2 on Apple's site. It is filed under the Pro section. The tips all come from Mac OS X Panther Killer Tips, which includes that very killery tip. In my book that is not the most Killer Tip in the world, but that might be gauging it on they have for ColorSync in OS X. That is actually helpful, you should really check it out if you haven't already.
