Snow Leopard —
scheduled to ship in about a year — builds on Leopard's enormous
innovations by delivering a new generation of core software
technologies that will streamline Mac OS X, enhance its
performance, and set new standards for quality."
The technologies: Grand Central to get better use of multiple
processors and multicore chips, OpenCL to tap the power of the GPU,
64 bit so we can finally have our 16 TB of RAM. QuickTime X for
optimized modern codec performance, and built in Exchange support
in iCal, Address Book, and Apple Mail that most likely will help
get Macs into corporate
environments.

Hidden Screensavers:
In Finder go to:
System/Library/Compositions
Drag the movie clips you want to use as screensavers to the system
preference pane with the screesaver tab open. Doing so will keep
the original file in the compositions folder just in case any other
program needs it.
There are tons of great clips in this folder that can be used as
screensavers so just dig thru them and find the ones that suite you
best.
Free file of the week:
ScreenShade
ScreenShade is a tool for further dimming a screen (or screens) past the capabilities of the OS X brightness display settings. This utility is especially useful for people who find themselves using their computer in a low-lighting situation. Even on its lowest native brightness setting, my MacBook Pro's screen is still extremely bright when used in a dark room - ScreenShade to the rescue!
