Another small but new feature of Snow Leopard is minimising open application windows to their respective ‘application icon’ in the dock (instead of a new icon on the right hand side of the dock). Not bad!

So Apple have published a new page to their site(s) titled Enhancements and Refinements (for Snow Leopard)
http://www.apple.com/macosx/refinements/enhancements-refinements.html
Here’s just some of the features I’ve picked out:
| With Snow Leopard and a compatible AirPort Extreme or Time Capsule base station, a computer that acts as a file or media server can go to sleep yet continue to share its files with other computers and devices, saving energy. |
Head on over to the Apple site and have a good read, it’s worth a look.
Apple has announced iLife 09. I’ve checked out the video’s on apple’s web site and I must say I’m impressed with the iPhoto and iMovie changes. (I’m a user of both apps).

Did you know you can easily put your mac to sleep by pressing command-option-eject (if you have a dedicated eject key on your keyboard). You’ll need to hold ‘eject’ for a couple of seconds.
How about just sleeping your display? try shift-control-eject!
Of course, if configured in system prefs, you can setup your mac’s power button to put your machine to sleep too.
Got an Apple TV? Put the video-output to sleep by pressing and holding the > (play) button. Note that this doesn’t put the Apple TV to sleep, it just shut’s off the video output.
How do I know all of these? If you don’t have a fast broadband connection, you tend to push a lot buttons. LOL!
Got any more sleepy tricks? post a comment!
