something amazing you can do with a few macs....
if you ever get the chance to get on someone your living withs macbook, turn on screen sharing in sharing system preferences
you need to know their username and password as well, then you can view and control their mac from yours
been winding up a housemate for a few days, putting on granny porn and stuff, has no idea whats going on lol

also name your computers name to one of your other housemates names, just in case

Command --> Shift --> 4

Lets you drag and grab a screenshot

Command --> Shift ---> 4, Then press spacebar

Lets you take a windowed shot

Also just a little track for you tru speed geeks.
Command --> Spacebar opens up the spotlight search on the top right, type in say the first two letters of an app you wanna open then press enter. Hey Presto No mouse needed. I use this CONSTANTLY now.

when command + tab(ing) through applications, while still holding command you can perform other shortcuts, like quit (Q), on the highlighted application..

**not a keyboard shortcut but cool anyway**

Found this out recently but at anytime if you hold control and then scroll up on the mousewheel it zooms in on the screen.

This is not software specific but built into the osx so you can zoom in on pixels on your desktop.

very cool function.

It's Command not Control.
