Seen a font in use and want to know what it is?

Ever wonder what font they used while reading your favorite magazine, or after seeing a commercial?

Ok. As unprofessional it may sound it represents the best the problems I encountered in Photoshop CS4.
First of all I should explain the problem.
I have installed on my system the entire Adobe Creative Suite 4. My system consists in:
WinXP Professional 32bit with SP3 installed
2Gb RAM
Ati HD3870 – drivers up to date
Core 2 Duo E8400 (3GHz)
And more than 13Gb free space on system’s partition on which Ps CS4 is installed.

The Photoshop CS4 lag was experienced when I excessively used the Brush and/or Clone Stamp tool(s) and consists in a delay in executing the respective command (sometimes up to 2 seconds – depending on how much I use one of the previously mentioned tools). I was surprised and still am that Adobe left this issue (bug) on the final release.

Recently I come across something “nice” while ‘cruising’ on the internet. This trick reminds me of some cool ‘viruses’, also something that many teenagers will find it really cool. I’m talking about hiding a file in another file, usually a jpg file (a picture).
So, lets say that you a have a very important file and you want to hide it. Thus curious eyes will never figure out where you keep your private stuff.

Ok. How do I do that?
