There are few things more aggravating than trying to watch a video whose audio is about one second too slow. Here's a quick fix for the problem in VLC.
We've shown you how to do this by digging into VLC's preferences, but it turns out there are some very simple keyboard shortcuts to fix this problem. While you're watching the video, just press the J or K keys to move the audio back or forward 50 milliseconds, respectively. Quick, easy, and no advanced fiddling required.
Note that some people are reporting that Ctrl+K and Ctrl+L work, but this didn't work in my tests. J and K worked fine.
Sometimes we get a little trigger happy with our window-closing mouse clicks. UndoClose keeps track of the windows you close and lets you reopen them with a keyboard shortcut. 
Just like you can hold down the back button in Safari, Firefox, or Chrome, holding down the Finder's back button in Lion shows you where you've recently been. 
If you want to save the contents of the Mac OS X clipboard, or just don't want to bother with it at all, you don't have to. You can just drag text (or, presumably, any other media) from one app to another using the dock or even the app switcher.
