The Mac OS X menu bar can get quite crowded and sometimes the icons don’t show up in the same spot after every reboot/logon. If an icon suddenly shows up in a spot you don’t like, there’s an easy way to beat it back into place:
Simply hold down the 
-key and drag it to its new position. Unfortunately this doesn’t work with all icons, although all system icons, such as Time Machine, AppleScript, Bluetooth and others, work and some applications, such as SoundSource and MagiCal, also let you drag their menu bar icons to new spots. You’ll just have to try out for which apps it works.
To prevent iPhoto from launching every time you connect a camera, open the application named Image Capture, open its preferences and select No application from the dropdown box.

iStat Menus’ icons can also be dragged around.
Thanks for the tip.
