Digit has this "I love my laptop" contest running. You write a review of your notebook, send it to them and the best entry wins a brand new notebook (they don't even mention which one).

That's so stupid. Why would I want to win a notebook if I already love my existing notebook? LOL!

Quick Tip :

Press and hold Ctrl + shift + Eject to immediately turn off lcd display

A small correction, you don't need to hold the keys, just press them together..

@dinesh72
It should work on every MacBook, MBP and MBA. I am not sure if it works on iMacs... Try again press ctrl + shift and then press eject. All three must be pressed at this moment..

^^^hmmm helping to developing that thing... I will try it some time later...

Quick Tip:

In many of apps like Safari, Mail, Textmate etc... when you encounter a word that you are not familiar with, just select it, point your cursor to it and press Cmd+Ctrl+D, you'll get a small pop up like thing that gives you its dictionary meaning. Now press and hold Cmd+Ctrl+D and hover your mouse over the entire sentence, you'll get meanings for every word that you hover your mouse to, just remember to keep the hold on the short cut key mentioned above while hovering the mouse/cursor.

Why is this posted here ??? Doesn't this sound like SPAM ????

@goobimama

[aryayush]

Not to spoil the party or anything but Milind meant that this particular tip is so basic and common that everyone knows it.

Of course it does, because it is.

shuffle prices slashed: 2700/- for 1gb

 

[goobimama]

^^ Are you high on weed or something? The prices have been 'slashed' a long time ago. (Again, spam I guess).

 

[iMav]

tech2 just reported this, i only put it here, I didn't know it was so cheap

[goobimama]

You can get it for like 2.4k or so actually. Don't you remember that big thread that was going on when the shuffle dropped to $49 and the 2GB was introduced?

Milind is goobimama right ??? So we have to live with his sarcasm. BTW weren't you the one who once warned that goobi's sarcastic humor may not be everyone's cup of coffee

Anyways, these days I am going through a lot of Mac related stuff, like videos, podcasts, screencasts, youtube tuts etc etc, I thought sharing some of my favorites would help anyone joining the Mac club. It doesn't matter even if they were very BASIC!!! Anyways..

Quicktip :

When you need to select some text, point and tap your cursor to the start of the text now move to the end of the text, press and hold Shift and then tap the cursor, entire text will be selected.
Its very basic but we don't need to scratch our trackpads to select some text.

 

[goobimama]

^^ Awesome! Keep em coming man! And sorry if I offended you. Just remember not to take ANYTHING I say seriously.

 

[jamesbond007]

Oh common how can I ever feel that way. In fact I am very lucky to have begun my Mac experience right from here....


I am very thankful to you guys arya, goobi, dr, darky etc etc

You can connect via Bluetooth. Want help with that, or is data cable the only option? (Bluetooth is way more convenient though.)

[iMav]

You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new

found it in a newspaper under a column "Quote in the Act" quite right actually, but this by no means explains a lame bluetooth
