When you open a program you usually see zoom rectangles zoom out to the edge of the screen. This Mac OS feature is old and outdated. If you want to get rid of these open your "preferences" folder from "library" (the path is /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences).
Open "com.apple.finder.plist" with TextEdit and scroll down until you see ZoomRects with true below it (or something like that). Change "true" to "false" and save your changes. No more zoom rects!
[Editor's note: Good tip, and I believe TinkerTool and a couple of the other GUI tools let you do this without an edit...]
