Enter Dashboard, Expose, or Spaces Temporarily

Hold down F9, F10, F11, or F12 (or whatever you've set for the Expose and Spaces keyboard shortcuts) for a few seconds, and then release the key to enter and leave the appropriate mode without having to press the key again. This is particularly useful for Dashboard, in which you can check the contents of a widget and then return to your work with only a single key press.

Macworld Removes Sign-Ins

by Geoff Duncan Send Email to Author

Macworld Removes Sign-Ins -- In a welcome move, Macworld magazine has eliminated the sign-in and authentication requirements for many areas of its much-promoted Web site (including current and back issues of Macworld magazine), although authentication is still required for message boards and vendor-based areas. Macworld claims it needs to grab some demographic information to keep advertisers happy and revenue flowing, but it's interesting to note that MacUser has never required authentication on its Web site, which has been around a lot longer.
