DAZ Productions Hexagon 2.5 - a 3D subdivision modeler, and it looks quite usable. Above all, it offers export for Second Life Sculpted Prims, including texturing. Maybe I should take a look at it too (normally I use AC3D, which is fixed and well configurable, but it looks rather thin on the side of texture creation, at least for someone with my non-skills)

GreaseKit - User Scripting for all WebKit applications - great. With this, Safari is getting closer to Firefox. With this and PithHelmet, Safari is already quite rounded. However, it would be nice if Apple would officially support plugin interfaces for such tools instead of constantly breaking the functionality of these tools. Even better would be a direct integration into Safari, because the ideas of these two tools are really not that far-fetched ...
Mailplane - wow, I definitely need to check that out. A Webkit-based specialized browser for Google Mail that can handle multiple accounts. I currently use multiple Prism instances for this, but a single program with switching capability would of course be much better. Besides, Prism is nice, but (thanks to Mozilla technology) is simply not a Mac application. And Fluid would be Mac-like, but unfortunately it can only handle one Google Mail account (since it does not separate cookies or KeyChain entries).
New version of VirtualBox also runs under Mac OS X and Solaris (Update) - and offers seamless desktop also for Linux guests. That would almost be interesting and reason to take a look at it. Although Parallels has been working so well for me that there is little "pressure to suffer" for such experiments.
TidBITS Entertainment: Thank You for Not Playing: Microsoft Expires Future Playback of DRM-Protected Music - anyone who still thinks DRM is great can read this. In my opinion, this is simply fraud what Microsoft is doing.
Your personal data just got permanently cached at the US border - isn't it cute how countries that otherwise always emphasize freedoms so much issue the most absurd regulations? Which freedoms are actually being defended when you give them all up?
