It has been a LONG time since i've posted anything here but i found this little nugget today while playing around with the OS X Yosemite Beta and I'm sure this is going to drive existing Mac users insane for a while!
When you click on the green zoom button on the top-left hand corner of a window in Apple's new Operating System, it defaults to bringing the window in question into full screen mode rather than simply filling the available screen real estate minus the dock and menu bar. This is ANNOYING! However, it is possible to get the traditional behaviour of the green button by doing one of the following:
1 - Holding down the alt/option key while you click the green button
2 - Not clicking the button at all and instead double clicking on the title bar
Heres hoping that Apple allow users to change this behaviour somewhere easily like they did with the 'natural' scrolling in OS X Lion which was equally annoying and unnecessary :)

Tabbing to a button
Ok, to start things off, I thought I'd mention the issue of tabbing. I was used to tabbing my way through the data entry websites i use everyday for my job. One of my pet peeves about using my Mac was that I couldn't just rely on the keyboard - whenever i would come to a button on a website, I needed to use my mouse to click on it. I thought this was strange as I wondered what some users with accessibility issues would do under this situation. I then found that this was actually a config option and Mac OS X just comes with tabbing to a button as disabled. You can resole this by doing the following:
Click on System Preferences-Keyboard & Mouse
Click on the 'Keyboard Shortcuts' tab
Under 'full keyboard access' choose the 'All controls' radio button.
Thats it! Now you should be able to tab through Forms and webpages with ease :)
