  1. Also use "cntrl+tab" and "cntrl+shft+tab" to move back and forth through tabs in Safari 4. That one's for you @MacToad
  2. Use "cmd+L" to enter a new web address in safari without having to use your mouse to highlight the current one.
  3. Head to http://engadget.com for live coverage of this morning's WWDC 2009 keynote! Should be a great one.
  4. Aw, you guys are so great. Less than 150 followers away from 5000. I smell a giveaway brewing!!!
  5. Today's tip: right click any address in Address Book to access a google map of that address. Also works in Mail.app!
  6. "cmd+opt+t" on any sticky note to make it semi-translucent. And if you don't know what I'm talking about, go open stickies.app … it's great.
  7. Enable 1/2 star ratings in iTunes: Type this in terminal.app "defaults write com.apple.iTunes allow-half-stars -bool TRUE"
  8. Wow some of you have very "grand" ideas for a giveaway. I'm no rich mactip'r … otherwise I'd be running a blog, not doing this on Twitter :)
  9. @PieKey I was thinking more along the lines of hardware than software ... but great idea. I could think of a few good apps.
  10. @johncouwels Oh no! You're still holding that against me :P
  11. @Matthew78 Well it would certainly have to be Mac related ... and I think I have some good ideas as far as choosing a winner.
  12. I think we need to have a very cool giveaway when we get to 5000 followers. What say you?
  13. Drag any file(s) to the mail icon in the dock to create a new message with those files as attachments.

  15. To type an ellipsis use "alt+;" on a US keyboard. (Really helpful when tweeting)
  16. Click on the first panel of the default date widget in Dashboard to get different views. Including one with upcoming events for that day.
