OS X: Slow Minimize Easter Egg
If you really want to show off the OS X eye candy, use this shortcut to slow down the minimize animation.
The minimize to dock animation is very cool. You can enjoy it a little longer by slowing it down with this little hint.
1. Hold down the Shift key
2. Press the yellow minimize button
3. Enjoy the sllllooooowwwww animation.

you can also use shift with expose etc, press shift + F9 – F12 or the appropriate buttons on an apple keyboard :)

This is very cool. I just went to my local Apple Store and spoke with a Mac Genius and they had no idea of this little eye candy trick. Thanks for this tip.
