19 tips, tricks and shortcuts to help you conquer Mac OS Yosemite
For those Mac users out there, I thought you might find these Yosemite tricks helpful. I have used Yosemite for a couple of months, and really like it. However, there were/are plenty of features I did not know about or that I wasn’t utilizing properly:
- The new spotlight search–it does math, currency conversion, word definitions, and interactive previews, which means you can send emails, make phone calls, etc., from within Spotlight
- Sign your name with a trackpad (on your laptop or an external one)
- 3D maps with traffic and flyover tours of major cities
- Close Safari tabs on other Apple devices
- Record your iPhone screen
- Share your screen
- Answer and make calls on your Mac
- Send and receive SMS messages
- Annotate images or PDF’s in mail (very nice, you don’t have to leave mail to do it)
- Lots more at the link
I see immediate uses with using the phone via the Mac–much better audio than using the iPhone speaker system, and annotating images and pdf’s within mail.

Back-2-my-Mac (share your screen) or share files between all devices with same Apple-ID is a great thing.
I believe that Apple iCloud is acting like a DynDNS server therefor the devices can locate each other over the internet.
I hope that FMI is taking advantage of this possibilities and that DynDNS-registration, router-config, port forwarding etc. get’s obsolete.

That would be nice! On the down side, all of this connectivity between devices might turn into a real headache if your system gets hacked!

I see 2 possible points of attack:
Apple Inc.: Do you trust all the security measures on Apple’s side for theirs server farms in N.C.? If not, anything regarding iCloud and sync, etc. is to avoid.
Shell I put a stopp-loss order to my Apple Shares (AAPL)?

Your Apple-ID: ‘specially the password then should be treated like the PIN-code of your credit-card.
