In the OS X Presentation, Steve Jobs did the slomo trick. He was using developer Preview 3. Now, if you actually hold shift while minimizing a window it doesn't enable that. So, what's the command for enabling the slomo mode on Os x DP3?

The trick was intended for the Macworld 2000 demonstration by Steve Jobs. I do not know which MacOSX DP version he used for the demonstration. Anyway, this fun feature survived more than 10 years enabled in successive MacOSX/OSX versions. In recent macOS versions it is disabled, but it is still there. You can enable it with this Terminal command:
defaults write com.apple.dock slow-motion-allowed -bool YES && killall Dock
