Sometimes after switching from one application to another, and then trying to return to the first, I’ll find that it won’t come forward — because the first application is doing a long calculation, or something else that makes it freeze. I want to see the current window state for the frozen application, but I can’t do it until the program has finished doing whatever it’s doing.

For those times when I just can’t wait, I think I found the solution: Exposé. Just press F9 (or whatever key you’ve assigned to All Windows), or move your mouse to the All Windows screen corner, if you’ve set that up.

This hint will require your iPod or iPhone to have some kind of wireless network access to begin w…

First, go to Settings » General » Keyboard » International Keyboards, click into the Japanese keyboard, and enable the QWERTY keyboard.

[robg adds: This works, and the note will remain in Helvetica even after closing and reopening Notes. You can even delete the Japanese character you typed — once the font has changed, it won’t change back.]
