Some Hidden Features of Mac Latest OS X Yosemite

Recently Apple release the Stable and Final version of OS X Yosemite, which was quite stable and faster than the beta version, despite it took alot of time to download and the biggest problem was that if you Close the Lid, the Internet will disconnect and you might need to start the download from the very beginning. That very thing was the reason why it took me a lot of days to download this. The Size of this update was already 5GB and the downloading speed was max at 200kbps, you can understand my patience, however, it was successfully downloaded and installed, I start exploring the Secret features in it and with a little help from Google, I was able to found some of them very useful, that I though to share with you people.

Last Time we shared some amazing Key Short-cuts in Mac, praised alot by users.
