The one thing that can completely distract me and make me to lose train of thought and sanity is the evil bouncing dock icon effect. But here is a terminal command that will put an end to your misery.
Just fire up Terminal (Applications/Utilities/Terminal) and type in the following and hit enter:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool TRUE
And then type in the following to restart your dock:
killall Dock
From now on you will not be plauged by the bouncing icons!!! And for whatever reason you want to turn it back on you can enter the following into Terminal:
defaults write com.apple.dock no-bouncing -bool FALSE
and then
killall Dock
