At least assuming this post by John Davidson on the Creative Cow Forums is legit. “I’m at Promax in NYC and got to meet and greet with keynote speaker Al Gore just a few minutes ago.

A cool trick if you have cycles to waste
Cruising around Reddit today I picked up a cool and of course, USELESS trick that I assume you will want to try for a day and then put back to normal, just like I did. Check out what you can do with the Activity Monitor’s icon. I would assume showing your CPU’s usage in the dock uses up more processing power than it’s worth, but still, it’s a sweet little...
