today i had plugged in a USB key in order to transfer some document files, i remember In windows there use to be tiny popup in task bar saying “its safe to disconnect ”  my approach to adjusting to mac  has been more on the lines

• learn by playing around  trial and error
•  if still not able to figure out then may be search for answers on google
• or if i am just too lazy then call up apple tech support and have them help me out 

today i was in hurry and just pulled my USB key which was connected to macbook and this is what i got ……

next time onwards i know what not to do, and rather choosing the blunt way of removing devices connected through USB port , i would try and go about going it the  right way i.e as the alert message says first eject the device and then remove
