How to Quickly Quit Multiple Programs

Posted on June 17, 2007 by J. Benjamin Stevens

Did you know that you can quit programs "on the fly"?  As you probably know, you can cycle through your open applicaitons by hitting ⌘ + Tab.  While doing that, you can close any desired applications by keeping the ⌘ key pressed and then hitting the "Q" key while cycling over the application you want to close.  The illustration below from Tim Gaden's Hawk Wings blog shows this process in action:

Apple Outlet Offers Macs for Less

Posted on June 3, 2007 by J. Benjamin Stevens

Apple_outlet Apple has opened its Apple Outlet, which was formerly known as the "Special Deals" section of its online Apple Store.  This site is the place to shop for certified and refurbished Apple products at discounted prices.  Apple tests and certifies all refurbished products, and they all include a 1-year warranty.  I have bought products from the Apple Outlet before, and I have always been well satisfied with their products.

The Apple Outlet is organized into the following sections:

  • Refurbished Mac  ::  Shop Apple-certified Mac desktops and notebooks at once-in-a-lifetime prices.
  • Clearance Items  ::  Get discount prices on new, unopened products from Apple and other manufacturers.
  • Big Deals  ::  See special offers, promotions, and other great deals available for a limited time only.
  • Refurbished iPod  ::  Find deals on the Apple-certified iPod, iPod nano, or iPod shuffle you've always wanted.
