    Didja know that your laptop has an emoji keyboard?

    1. There's a hidden menu that lets you type emoji on a desktop computer.

    2. The space underneath your charger's cable arms is the safest place to label it.

    3. Use command (⌘) + space to perform quick calculations in Spotlight search.

    4. The Mac equivalent of the "Home" and "End" keys are fn + left and right arrow, respectively.

    5. Received a document in need of your initials or signature? Just open the "Preview" app.

    Here's how it's done: Open Preview and click on Tools in the menu bar > Annotate > Manage signatures > Create signature. You'll then be prompted to sign using your trackpad or by holding up your signature on a white paper to your laptop's camera. When you're finished, click Done.

    Next, open your document in Preview. Then go to Tools > Annotate > select the signature you want to use. You can then drag and drop the signature to anywhere on the document.

    6. If you hate how slow iPhoto is, use Image Capture to upload pictures instead.

    7. Here's how to play music and videos streamed from Safari in the background.

    You can stream music from sites like YouTube or Soundcloud in the background while using other apps.
