Optimize performance in Photoshop CS4 on Mac OS
To check memory use in Photoshop, open the Efficiency Indicator: Choose Efficiency from the pop-up menu on the status bar of your image to display the percentage of time actually doing an operation instead of reading or writing the scratch disk. If the value is below 95-100%, Photoshop is using the scratch disk and, therefore, is operating more slowly. If the efficiency is less than 90%, you'll see a large performance increase by changing your RAM allocation or adding RAM.

Had no clue that Photoshop had this. The whole document is quite good and should be bookmarked by anyone who spends time in Photoshop

Mac OS X: How to change owner registration details like name?
The long name in Accounts and "Me" name in your Address Book should take care of it. Applications should be pulling their data from the Address Book, but I think some use Accounts, so it's good to change that too.

The Macbook I bought earlier this year had gotten pretty slow. Its my first Apple computer and I've been playing around on it quite a bit. Installed, uninstalled lots of junk. The Macbook had started getting slow, but I decided to upgrade it to Snow Leopard.
Big mistake.
Firefox and Safari would take almost 10 seconds to start up. After spending a night backing up everything, I reinstalled OS X from scratch, wiping the hard drive.
Wow. Can definitely feel the speed difference.
During the registration, I put in some junk data for my name and address, planning on coming back and fixing it. When I installed Adium, it would displayed a name on the title bar. It was the name that I had entered when registering.
Ugh.
Googling, a lot of people were asking how to change the short name or machine name. The short name is tricky to change. The machine name can be changed in the System Preferences >> Sharing >> Computer Name. But thats still not what I was looking for. I wanted to change the registration name.
After some more googling, I found the answer in the MacNN forums. Open up the Address Book, select All Contacts, name of user (there is Apple Inc. and whatever you registered as), click the Edit button. Make the changes and you are done.
