I know this is a short tip, but I thought it was pretty cool (and useful).
Have you ever wanted to save a bit of text from a website? In Windows you would have to highlight the text, right click, open a document, and paste it in. In Mac however, all you need to do is highlight the text and then drag the text over to the desktop. It will create a document and save your text in it automatically.
For all you Linux users out there; this tip works for you too! (It saves your text in a file called ‘dropped text.txt)
