While not one of the most practical Mac tips, it sure is fun to look at. To create the slow motion effect while minimizing a window, hold shift as you double click the titlebar. This will send the window off to the Dock in slow motion.
Similarly, you can hold shift while clicking an item from the Dock to see the same effect in reverse.
This tip isn’t just limited to windows, however. When you activate Dashboard, hold shift. When you use Expose to show your desktop, hold shift.
As you can see, with pretty much any transformation, you can slow it down by holding shift.
Neat huh?
