Spiritual java is an attempt to let me express my thoughts, my ideas, my views and my feelings about two topics which are very close to my heart. Vippasana and Java!!! I have been practicing Vipassana for more than 8 years now and in all these years the way this teqnuqie helped me in overcoming many ups and downs in my life is quite remarkable. Java on the other hand is my source of my materialistic existence. So I'll be sharing my views on J2EE technology and its relevance in web.

How to take screen snapshot in Mac OS X

Taking screen snapshot in Mac OS X is very simple. If you want to capture the snapshot of the entire screen just press cmd+shift+3 and you will hear a camera click sound!!! Go to the desktop and you will see by default an image called picture-1 is created there. Thats all :-)

If you want to take the snapshot of only a selected area of the window then press cmd+shift+4 and this time you will see that your mouse pointer has become an area selection pointer. Select the area of the window you want to take the snapshot and release the mouse pointer, again you will hear a camera click sound !!!. Go to the desktop and find your image there. Dead simple on Mac... making simple things simpler... thats Mac for you :-)
