Upgraded to OS X Yosemite. First casualty = my Samsung ML 1740 printer.
Mavericks had not been kind to my printer, either. I had previously gotten it to work with tech magic I've long forgotten - something about GhostScript and CUPS. This time, I found a solution called SpliX.
SpliX installs CUPS drivers for Samsung printers.

Update 2015-06-12:
This only worked for a while. It would sporadically fail. I finally gave up and purchased a new Brother printer.

Screen shots in OS X
Splat + Shift + 3 = Captures entire screen
Splat + Shift + 4 = Captures a custom rectangle (click and drag rectangle over desired area)
Splat + Shift + 4 then Space = Captures a window (click on the window)
Screen shots are saved to the desktop

Mount Amazon EC2 instances on OS X with SSHFS
This gem lets you manipulate files on your remote EC2 instance as if they were local. Think of it like a mini Dropbox near instantaneously updating files between your MacBook and your Ubuntu instance at Amazon.
I do not think they are actually syncing - based on response times, I think file manipulations are done directly to the remote host.
Step 1: Configure SSH
Copy your Amazon .pem file to ~/.ssh
Change permissions on the .pem file:
chmod 600 ~/.ssh/myfile.pem
Test the .pem file:
ssh -i ~/.ssh/myfile.pem ubuntu@aws_instance_name.com
Store the .pem file in ssh so you can enter a shorter ssh command in the future:
ssh-add -K ~/.ssh/myfile.pem
Now you can ssh to your Ubuntu instance more easily:
ssh ubuntu@aws_instance_name.com
Step 2: Install SSHFS
Download and install both packages from http://osxfuse.github.io
OSXFUSE
SSHFS
Step 3: Configure the mount point
mkdir ~/AmazonEC2
sshfs ubuntu@aws_instance_name.com:/home/ubuntu/rails_projects ~/AmazonEC2
Now your EC2 files located at /home/ubuntu/rails_projects will be "synced" with ~/AmazonEC2
I do not think they are actually syncing - based on response times, I think file manipulations are done directly to the remote host.
For fun, take a look at mounted file systems:
