Anyone know how to filter a list of files in a Finder window by a string?
Not a hidden feature - but what confuses some of my family members is that if they install an app in OS X, they click on a downloaded dmg (or it auto-opens), and they get this Finder window opening, without "Applications" visible. Initially they just ran the application like this, as if it was installed. However, I've explained that it needs to be moved to "Applications". This is difficult, seeing that if one clicks…
I first started using computers on a Mac SE, I found the whole setup.exe thing to put things on the disk for DOS and more especially Windows, to be odd. I was used to just running applications from the floppy disk it sat on.
I was just playing around with option+menu bar items and discovered that notifications can be disabled by option-clicking the notification center icon on the far right in Mountain Lion. Then if you click to open notification center there is text which says that notifications will turn back on tomorrow and a toggle to turn them back on now
Sometimes Stackexchange sites will close a thread, because it's "not a question". Sometime's they won't. Nitpicking, but this is not a question. (Still great answers, though.)

Again, not really a hidden feature but one I was very happy to find: moving files via Finder using Cmd-C to 'cut' and Cmd+Opt-V to 'paste'. (I come from a Windows background and cutting and pasting using the keyboard is deep in my DNA).

The Opt key in "Cmd+Opt-V to 'paste'" is unnecessary.

You could click on the translucent bar button on the top right of a DMG-window, then you get the sidebar on the left back. But apparently it's been removed in Lion: http://myintarweb.com/dispatch/lion-tip

How about the PRISM and hardware tracking built into iPhones? edit: let the down votes commence, I've got some karma to burn.
