Don't forget about -exec, one very handy part of find. Very useful when there are too many files in a directory for example.
find / -name '*.jpg' -exec mv {} {}.old \;
The above would search recursively through and rename all<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.jpg files to<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.jpg.old. Probably not the best example, but extreemly useful.
