Jason Corso - Vi Input Manager Plugin
"This bundle patches the Cocoa Text System to add a Vi-like command mode. After entering command-mode (typically, by hitting escape in Vi), ordinary Vi commands can be typed and the text field will be updated accordingly. Essentially, this add Vi command functionality (albeit a small subset) to any (and all) text editors that use the Cocoa text system; e.g., Safari, TeXShop, XCode, etc. Note, however, this does not work for other programs that do not use the Cocoa system."

Namely
"Namely is possibly the fastest way to open applications. And unlike some other launchers, it doesn't require any learning." I still use quite a few of Quicksilver's more fancy features, but if you don't this looks like a great little launcher.

dotmac - Google Code
A version of .Mac you host yourself - data sync, iDisk, Backup all work apparently. Doesn't look too fiddly to install on a machine running Linux (you have to patch Apache, install a bunch of Perl modules) but there's no easy way of installing - if they get that sorted, this could be really popular.

Good comparative review of browsers on the Mac. I use Firefox (mostly for the del.icio.us add-on and Greasemonkey, which I need on a couple of sites I use heavily) and WebKit nightly builds for when I know I'll just be tootling around the web (it's fast).
