<p>Want to quickly Force Quit an app? You can do so with the Mac OS X Dock by right-clicking on any open application and then holding down the Option key. This will bring up alternate menu options including “Force Quit” instead of “Quit”.</p>

<p>You can also force quit apps with the <a href="http://osxdaily.com/2010/08/15/mac-task-manager/">task management utility Activity Monitor</a> or by hitting Command+Option+Escape to bring up an app selector.</p>
