Top 5 things you can do RIGHT NOW with your Mac.

alexisjulian:

MAX OS X TRICKS

None of these will harm your machine or interfere with what you’re doing in any way.

1) Press Cmd, Alt, Ctrl and 8. INVERT WOAH

2) Hold Cmd, shift and 4. Drag a box. PRINT SCREEN CITY

3) Hold down Shift and then minimise something or use Exposé or the Dashboard. SLOW MOTION MADNESS

4) Go to Finder: find your Applications folder. Turn on Cover Flow. Make Cover Flow as big as possible. Look at the icon for TextEdit. IT’S ACTUAL WORDS.

5) This one’s slightly more complicated but worth it. Go to an application called Terminal. You don’t need to click anything once it’s open, just type the word “emacs” (without quote marks). Then press escape. Then press the letter x on the keyboard. Then type tetris or pong. INSTANT GAMING FUN.

Compliments of Alex Day (aka Nerimon on YouTube)

Number 5 was new to me. AMAZINGGGGG.
