It’s important to appreciate the little things in life, especially if they indulge your geek side. Today, I salute Exposé, which is one of the simplest, yet coolest features of the Mac OS.The screenshot here is of a new HD short film I’m making that consists of 600+ still photos. Thanks to Exposé, editing multiple images is easy — just a wave of the mouse lets you move between them easily. (Yeah, I know I can keyboard it…but sometimes you just gotta get your mouse on.)

The even bigger geek indulgence, of course, is that you can pretend your Mac is the poor man’s version of the computer in Minority Report.
