See Exposé in slow motion

You want something REALLY cool? The same trick work with the minimize to dock button (shift-click it for a slow minimize to dock). So:

Open a window. Any window. Open Terminal, but situate the Terminal window so the minimize button on the first window is still visible. Type "killall Dock" into the terminal, but don't hit enter yet. Shift-click the minimize button (still keeping the terminal window as the front window), and *BEFORE* the window being minimized touches the dock hit enter. Witness the coolness.

HOLY COW that is awesome! Clicking is WAYYY off though, but still almost usable! That's pretty interesting. Too bad there wasn't a good way to get it back to normal :-\
 
Because Apple engineers have Prankster tradition!

Mac OS X is really "grown up".

But there have always been cool little tricks in the Mac OS X. Remember the origins of the name "Sosumi"? Ha! It is actually "so sue me".

In earlier OS X versions, hitting Cntrl-Alt-Del would bring up a window that sais "This is not Windows."

I also enjoy the sample voice sentences in Speech.

Those are the ones I can think of right away. Does anyone remember any others?
 
Oh yeah, you think slow motion using the shift key is cool. Try the ultra-slow-motion but hitting control+alt+shift :D

EDIT: will NOT work with exposé, only minimizing.

Pressing the alt key it's not necessary. If you do that, it will just minimize all the windows form an app, even if it's not in slow motion (e.g. open multiple windows in safari, press alt while clicking the minimize button. All windows will be minimized) And by pressing alt while unminimizing a window will unminnimize all windows from that app.

I wish i could see that.
 
Okay, here's another little effect that, so far, I haven't seen mentioned anywhere on the web or in print. So here it is for the first time - consider this a MacRumors exclusive, lol.

First of all, it's 10.4 Tiger only. Open the Chess program and just click any of the chess pieces. You'll see the piece "spotlighted" similar to the spotlight effect in system preferences.

Make that 201 new features :)

I didn't know anyone actually used that app. :eek:
 
You know, on the main page, the title of this thread is "See Expos in slow motion" so every time I see it I think of baseball in slow motion before realizing that a) the Expos don't exist anymore, and b) special characters don't really work on the main page.
 
Wow this is all really cool stuff. It does make my eyes go funny though!

They work for me anywhere, I mean, I can perfectly see "é" in the main page.
