Desktop tour

Menu bar, from left to right; smcFanControl: lets you control your computer's fans; Thoughtback: type a personal note into the pane and get it back when you least expect it; Free Memory: this is a free application for Mac OS users, basically does as it says, find it in the App Store; GeekTool: lets you personal your desktop a little more, some great tutorials for it on youtube. I don't use it anymore but keep it just in case; Twitter for Mac: is a must-have for Twitter users, shoots back into the menu bar when icon is clicked, pretty neat; iStat Menus (HD, MEM, CPU): an advanced system monitor for Mac OS X.

The rest are the default menu items for Mac OS; Time Machine, bluetooth, wifi, volume control, day and time, character viewer, battery, users, and Spotlight. 

Dock, from left to right; Finder: a default file manager on Mac OS, cannot be removed from dock; Launchpad and Mission Control: I'll lump these together seen as they're both new features of Lion, Launchpad is an easy way to find and launch your Applications, very similar to what you would find on iOS. Mission Control is similar to Spaces, lets you set up a desktop for each thing you're doing, I usually put each application I'm running into a new window; System Preferences: lets you modify system settings; Mac App Store: find and download Applications for your Mac, an Application hub of sorts; iTunes: I hope everyone knows what iTunes is, I love my iTunes more than anything!; Mail: default mail application for Mac; iCal: a calendar, which is so much more fun since Apple introduced iCloud; Twitter for Mac: same as the one in my menu bar; Adobe Photoshop CS5: a graphics editing program, which I used a lot more when studying Graphic Design; Audio Hijack Pro: lets you record from any application, I use it for something else; Dictionary: I used to access this from Spotlight but then realised I use it way too much and slipped into my dock for easier access; Raven: a freaking sweet browser for Mac. GET IT NOW!

Blue folders; Applications, Documents, Downloads, and Trash. 

Desktop wallpaper is a NASA image of Jupiter.

Space Shuttle icon is my hard drive. 

Star Stuff is my secret. Teehee!
