If you want to cause a little mischief at the Apple store, try this out:

  • Go to any of those beautiful MacBooks, PowerBooks, iMacs, whatever
  • Hold down ctrl+option+apple (the three buttons to the left of the spacebar) and 8.
  • Then while you hold down ctrl+option+apple, hit the period button repeatedly

Much to Borst's chagrin, this provided me with ample amusement last Friday while we were waiting for V for Vendetta.

(You can reverse the effect by hitting ctrl+option+option and comma, then hitting ctrl+option+apple 8 again)

What does this do? You'll have to go find out yourself ;) [it doesn't do anything dangerous or permanent, it's a keyboard shortcut for a OS X setting]

Brings back great memories when Sam's Club started selling computers.

That was interesting, but what I want to know is how can a guy who is so backlogged in his projects find time to discover things like that? :-)

You'll have to go create some mischief at the Apple store to find out ;)
