Even Macs do weird things. If you’ve connected a second display to your Mac it might be a false identification which makes your screen really blurry or even display an “Out of sync” message. This can be fixed easily in OS X by removing or renaming the file Library/Preferences/com.apple.windowserver.plist and rebooting your Mac — that last step is in most cases not even necessary.

Make your Gmail notifier on your Mac secure
The Gmail (and calendar) notifier on the Mac are default sending your password as plain text over the internet. You can however change this in a hidden setting dialog to send all data over https by holding down the Command and Option key and pulling down the Notifier menu, then click the Preferences option and a dialog will pop-up. Now enter SecureAlways (exactly as shown) in the Key-field and put a 1 in the Value-field. Click Set and restart the Notifier. All communications with the Google servers will be secure from now on!
