Do you hate the way that Mac OS X 10.7 and above swapped the scroll direction for trackpads? You can change it back.

Just go to System Preferences> Trackpad, click on the Scroll & Zoom tab, and toggle off “Scroll direction: natural.”

(Adjusting a gesture-enabled mouse instead? The setting’s within System Preferences> Mouse under the Point & Click tab.)
