Stevey's Blog Rants: Settling the OS X focus-follows-mouse debate

Ever since the Dawn of Time (Jan 1, 1970), people have been bitching about the lack of focus-follows-mouse on Mac computers. They started complaining about it fourteen years before the first Mac was even released, that's how bad it was.

Enable click-through on OS X • mozillaZine Forums

Lack of click-through means a lot more mouse clicks while you're working. Subliminally, it can make the user experience feel slow and unresponsive. I've been using OS X for three years, and it's still one of my least favourite things about Macs.

10.5: Use Preview to merge or create multi-page PDFs - Mac OS X Hints

Use Preview to open up the two PDFs you would like to merge. Choose View » Show Sidebar (or click the Sidebar button). Make sure both PDFs are visible on the screen at the same time. When the Sidebar pops out, you will see a graphical representation of the pages in your PDF document. Simply drag the page, or pages (use Comand to select multiple pages) from the Sidebar of one PDF to the Sidebar of another. You have now merged pages from two separate PDF documents.

UK.keylayout - UK keyboard mapping for Mac OS X 10.2 or higher

The standard British key layout makes a UK-issue Apple keyboard work as it should do, but for some of us who have typed on non-Apple keyboards our whole lives - or for those Mac owners who are using a third-party keyboard - the Apple standard layout doesn't feel quite right. For example, Shift+2 gives you @, whereas on more standard keyboards it gives you ".

Apple - Support - Discussions - Why has my Mac mini become so slow? ...

In a word, it comes down to lag. Every operation which used to be instant when the Mac was new, now has a delay of anything from half a second to over 10 seconds. It feels like walking in mud. And it's always the first time I do something I haven't done for a few minutes -- if I repeat the same operation immediately afterwards, it's instant. Long delays are often (but not always) accompanied by the beachball -- which I see a lot.
