And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Shift-Command-4 will let you select a portion of the screen to grab. I think to print the full screen is Command-4, but I almost never want to do that.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Or you can save a page as a PDF from the Print dialog box of any application.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Isn't there a little camera looking application that helps you to take screen shots and crop them. I remember having a lot of trouble without this after I switched to a PC.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Shift-Command-4 will let you select a portion of the screen to grab. I think to print the full screen is Command-4, but I almost never want to do that.

Sort of.

Command-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it as a file on the desktop

Command-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it as a file on the desktop

Command-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it as a file on the desktop

Command-Control-Shift-3: Take a screenshot of the screen, and save it to the clipboard

Command-Control-Shift-4, then select an area: Take a screenshot of an area and save it to the clipboard

Command-Control-Shift-4, then space, then click a window: Take a screenshot of a window and save it to the clipboard

In Leopard and later, the following keys can be held down while selecting an area (via Command-Shift-4 or Command-Control-Shift-4):

Space, to lock the size of the selected region and instead move it when the mouse moves

Shift, to resize only one edge of the selected region

Option, to resize the selected region with its center as the anchor point

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Hey. New board.

Cool! I love my Roku, and have been thinking about getting one of those for my bedroom TV.

This is my first Roku experience. Why didn't I listen to y'all?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Two of my tablets got wonky a few weeks ago, and I sent my wiped clean Tab to my parents, so I (by my count) required another tablet. I found a discount on a Nexus 7, and damn! That thing is pretty. The graphics are beautiful.

It lives on Command hooks mounted on the bookshelf that abuts my bed, set by default to a dark clock screen, and functions as my sleep control centre (inasmuch as my sleep can be controlled) with hypnosis, background noise, Fitbit app, etc.

Does anyone have a DLNA (UPnP? What's the correct terminology) client recommendation for Android? I swear I had one, but I've wiped that tablet since...

I'm tempted by the stick, if their client is better than my TV's.

Hey. New board.

MediaHome is what I use for a DLNA client. I have no idea if it's the best, but it functions. I've used BubbleUPNP before, but I think it's a bit bloatier as it can do DLNA server work as well.

I've never seen a streaming client that is nearly as good as the Roku. I have Netflix clients in my TV and my Blu-Ray player, and the Roku's is far more usable and quick. Not to mention the many other apps for it (I use Hulu Plus and Vudu regularly, Amazon on occasion, PBS Kids more often than I should, and the Roku Media Player - which is a very simple DLNA client, though the Roku doesn't support many formats that way - pretty often as well).
