Rocket Dock. If you don’t love it, some chick will.
I came across this recently and I have to say it’s one of those Mac on Windows like features I’ve grown to enjoy. Now your girlfriend can’t complain they like Macs better, especially when they usually don’t know anything more than how to check email and surf the web.

The only weird part about the Rocket Dock video is… it sometimes sounds like a chick. Other times it sounds like it could be an 11 year old boy. Yick.
