I received an attachment via E-mail and wanted to print it straight away.
1. So, I saved the document.
2. Selected it in Finder (not opened it) in Space 2
3. Then used the “File > Print” in Finder
4. The document was opened and printed
5. My word processor closed automatically again
In the meanwhile I was working on a document in a different Space.

Alt+Cmd+D hides the dock and pressing the same brings it back.
I tested this in Leopard (10.5.8) but it should work with Snow Leopard (10.6.x). Please comment telling me if it does work in 10.6.x.
In Terminal, type the following
defaults write com.apple.dock mouse-over-hilte-stack -boolean YES;killall Dock;killall Terminal
Terminal will close, and your Dock will flash. Open a stack, and you now have a gradient when you mouse over an icon.
I know it’s old. Just thought I would post it here. Also, to reverse it, copy and paste the same code, but replace YES with NO.

(ALL VERSIONS OF MAC OSX) Open Script Editor which can be found by typing “Script Editor” into spotlight. This works for any version of OSX, even the BETA I think but no one uses that anymore, so full of glitches, features you take for granted just aren’t there… Anyway, when you go into script editor type in: say “Hello, how are you doing today?” Copy and paste that, you can replace the text inside the speech marks with anything you want the computer to say, then click the green play button.
I’m new here so I’m not sure if you have this tip or not but it is quite funny to listen to the computer say things that you type…
There’ll be plenty more of these, but here’re 2 I’ve spotted:
Smart emptying of the trash:
How many items are there in your print queue? Now you know with a little badge:
Looks like when you take a screen cap / grab in Snow Leopard, you get really useful filenames, instead of just “Picture1.png” etc.
Check out this how-to video (done with the new Snow Leopard screen recording feature of Quicktime!)

So I’ve just installed Snow Leopard on my near-new 13″ Macbook Pro. It’s fast, very fast. Faster than Leopard. The new Quicktime is nice, “stacks” are much improved. Excellent!
