What fun things can I do with my new Mac Book Pro?

[C.Mongler]

I just got a few days ago so far I have:

-Downloaded some torrents
-Pirated COD4 for the Mac
-Used Crossover to play TF2

I'm still trying to figure out exactly how everything works, but I'm getting there. What fun things are there to do on a mac?

I'm so jealous

Firefox is pretty fun.

Download Flip4Mac so you can see Windows Media videos

GimmeSomeTune puts whats playing on your desktop if you want, also automatically gets album art and lyrics, set hotkey shortcuts to control iTunes, and will connect with Last.fm to scrobble your songs.

QuickTime Player is pretty good, but VLC will play lots of things QuickTime can't.

PEGGLE

Delicious Library can catalog your CDs, DVDs, and books. Uses the camera to scan the barcodes on your stuff. It's pretty cook.

Skitch can take screen caps, then you can draw and type on it. It also gives you space on the internets, which it will upload your image to and give you the URL.

Don't know how much you know about Macs already, so uh..

Make faces in PhotoBooth
The remote can control iTunes, hit the menu button to open Front Row. Browse your iTunes files, movie trailers/tv shows in the iTunes store, YouTube videos, pictures, and videos on your drive.

F3 activates Exposé
F4 does Dashboard
The rest of the function keys have icons that are pretty self-explanatory. The keys, when hit, do whatever the icon says, if a program has a function key shortcut, then to use it, you have to hold the "fn" key in the bottom left of the keyboard, then the function key you need.
Hold the control key or put two fingers on the trackpad and click for the contextual menu (like right clicking).
Swipe the trackpad with two fingers to scroll. You can scroll through text fields (like this reply box) if you mouse over it, then swipe.

You can hold Shift when you minimize a window (the yellow button at the top left of the windows) or activate Exposé to do it in slow motion.

Command+Tab to cycle through open applications. While switching, you can hit H to hide whichever program is highlighted. Shift+command+tab will cycle the other way.

In the Finder, you can command click on the name of a window to quickly show the folder hierarchy.
Also in the Finder when control clicking something, the "Compress _____" will make a .zip of whatever it is.

macosxhints.com has a lot more

CrossOver sucks.

Just use Boot Camp and install XP.

Is it going to allow me to run TF2 better than crossover? I mean its not that great looking, but its stable for the most part. I don't really want to run out and buy a copy of windows XP just to play TF2.

It will run much smoother, and it will look great.

You can pirate a Windows XP student edition.
