Purchase the app "free memory" and it shows all the apps that are loaded. You can FQ your apps and watch your free memory expand. Closing Safari with 8 tabs freed up nearly 30mb. It works. </p> <p>Too bad there are so many conspiracy theorists in this world, we might actually get things done without them.</p> Yes you can see that this force quit works.

Too bad there are so many conspiracy theorists in this world, we might actually get things done without them.

If the complainers would read the WHOLE article it tells you where it dumps you and that the tabs come back. The screen shot at the beginning of the article is just an explanation of what happens! dah (sorry about that) For the non believers, do some reading ANYWHERE about OSX. Knowledge is valuable in the correct hands. OR you can just not use the tip and go on in your little closed world. Just stop complaining about something you don't completely understand.And too Rene, sorry for the rant, but good job keeping your cool during this one.</p> This is so frustrating too read that I had too comment.

Logic, people. Safari and Mail take up lots of resources by not quitting completely, that is obviously true. You can force-quit them that is also obviously true. Ergo this hint has value but only for the Very Few Apps that don't quit completely, and they are listed by Apple. This is not a fake hint, you people are obviously fake geeks cuz this is really simple logic try to follow.</p> Why is the world populated by idiots? Logic, people.

How can we verify it actually does free resources? We can't. Holding the home button for 6 sec is no different to holding it for 1 sec, that is it goes home that's all.</p> urban myth this.

Everytime I held my home button down for 6-7 seconds I was waiting for that pop up window to show up like in that screenshot.

Yeah, looks I made a mistake with the tab clearing. The memory cache gets flushed, but the tabs get reloaded over the network if you go back to the browser after force quit. Mea culpa. Updating again…
