While I am not a Mac user, I know that many of CruTech’s readers are and I think about you all often while I keep my eye out for things that may help your lives as well.

I came across a list at Lifehacker (one of my favorite tech-blogs) of that seems to have a number of useful things that Macs are inherently are able to do. Here’s the list:

1. Say anything.
2. Show off Stacks and Expose in slow motion.
3. Activate screen corners.
4. Display custom hard drive icons.
5. Look up words in the dictionary with a keystroke.
6. Launch applications from Spotlight.
7. Tab between all controls.
8. Zoom WAY in on a page.
9. Show the date on the menubar.
10. Double as an external drive.

To see what all of these mean, head over to the post at Lifehacker (it would be rude/illegal for me to copy the entire content of their post).

To be honest some of these things don’t make any sense to me (what is Stacks and Expose?), some are just for “pretty” (the custom hard drive icons), but others seem way useful – looking things up, launching applications, tabbing between controls and doubling up a drive.

Here is my challenge to my Mac-lovers out there – tell me what you love about your Mac. Three things that I will not accept as good reasons are: they’re prettier (I agree), they run better (not always true), they don’t get viruses (neither does my Windows/Linux machine).
