Have you wondered how to get the PrintScreen equivalent on your Mac and iPhone? Here's how:
Update: Just discovered that Apple-Shift-4 creates a cross-hair that you can use to choose the area on the screen that you want captured.... and to think of all the pictures I have been cropping in Powerpoint because I only wanted a small portion to include in my presentation!
Additionally, if you also press the Control key in the above "3" or "4" process, the picture will be saved to Clipboard so that you can immediately Paste it into your desired application; of course, you will not find it later.
Update: TUAW reports that Snow Leopard has changed the File Name syntax for the Print Screen pictures; the Picture 1, Picture N are now gone and you have more descriptive file names (providing date & time stamps).
Macbook: Apple-Shift-3 key combination will print screen; file (PictureN.png) will be stored on your Desktop.
iPhone / iPod Touch: Press the Home and Lock keys simultaneously for print screen. Image is stored in your Photos / Camera Roll.
