New MacBook tricks

[verve247]

I thought this was cool.

When using the trackpad, place 1 finger on the trackpad and "scroll" with another finger. Or better yet, place 2 fingers on the trackpad and use a third to "right-click."

I was messing around at the Apple Store today and it is very easy to do.

Anyone know how to get Front Row to appear without using the remote? There is some key combo I can't remember. The first to post gets a cool smilie.

Those features have been around for a little while. Since OS X 10.4 I believe. You can expect to see neat gestures like these on a future generation ipod.

Stumbled upon this by dumb luck...

Apple+Esc gets Front Row to start without the remote... Esc backs you out of it.

Now where's my damn smilie? =)

There's even a hack that lets you switch applications by smacking the laptop around (and this one only works on the Macbook series as it takes advantage of the motion sensor built into the laptop).
