In the event of a drive failure, Time Machine has the ability to create a bootable backup. It takes some preparation, however, which must be done before disaster strikes.
Using Disk Utility, create a partition on the drive you are using for Time Machine (see Disk Utility Help for instructions on how to do this without erasing your Time Machine backups). The new partition must be large enough to hold the contents of your computer’s drive, plus 10 or 20Gb of elbow room. If your system weighs 85Gb, then the new partition should be 100Gb or so. Leave this partition blank, and go on with your life.

After the folks at Kensington have released the new Mac and PC compatible Dual Monitor Adapter you can use the usb port to connect a second monitor.

If you are the type of user who opens lots of windows in one space and they start stacking on top of each other (like the picture below)then this tip is for you.
There are a few ways you can get to any of the open windows. You could just start scrolling through them like we showed you about in this article (Switch Between All Open Windows), or you could use expose. For me the best way to start working in the window I want is to use the Option + Command and click right on the window I want to work in. The major benefit to this method is the it will drop all other windows to the back automatically. Just like you see in the picture below.
Now you may ask where did all my windows go when this happens, don’t worry they were just hid. Use you Command + Tab to get tot he application you are wanting to get to.
