Favorite Apps/Add-Ons/Upgrades/Websites

[Warped]

What are your favorite Apps/Add-Ons/Upgrades for any program/phone/browser/home/PC/etc

I'm talking bout things that enhance your life, speed things up and give you a smile on your face. I'd have to say so far Tabbed Browsing is great, but I'd love an ability to save my bookmarks tool, and maybe a thesaurus would be good which would be implemented into the browser on ever web page.

For my car, the iPhone to cassette deck connections cable is ingenious. I have an older car (getting a newer one in a few weeks from my folks) temporarily...and this cable works great! For the Xbox, the ability to add on games to the HDD is amazing and much needed. As far as my phone, http://www.mobango.com/ is an amazing site for your cell phone to upload free games and stuff. I dunno, I'm pretty sure people say "your doing it wrong" a lot in this thread but thats what I want to hear. How else can we make things better for everyone??

EDIT: Forgot about all those free games on Fileplanet which are great for older and newer PCs. http://www.fileplanet.com/187537/180000/fileinfo/Psi-Ops:-The-Mindgate-Conspiracy-%28Free-Game%29 http://www.fileplanet.com/free-games/

I'd suicide without my Zune's Car FM Transmitter/Charger.

Wireless PC mouse: 9/10.

2.5in external hard drives: 8/10.

Pandora desktop app: 10/10.

Computer shutoff timer: 9/10 (for listening to pandora for about 20 minutes before falling asleep, without having to leave my pc on all night)

Wouldnt go without any of these.

Its awesome is what it is. Its like a internet radio station, only you type in a band that you like and it makes a station of music that is similar to that band using the Music Genome Project.

I'm looking for a better desktop search program. Don't like the windows one, the cooper one, the yahoo! one, and couldn't get the x1 to work. I don't think I'll like the google one, but I can't remember why.

Programs:
Unlocker, allows you to see which programs are using files you can't delete/move/edit, and if you want to, you can block these programs from accessing them.

Winamp, great lightweight music player with a understandable interface, a lot of features and downloadable plugins.

Desktop Icon Toy, allows you to allign desktop icons and save layouts(so you can restore them after a low-res game ****s up your desktop)



Websites:
iGoogle, there's nothing better than having your e-mail, news feeds and notes on the same page.

Getjar.com, a good site to get freeware apps and games for mobile phones.

Spotify.

windows 7. Saves me from having to manually flip bits in various parts of my computer.

- Launchy for searching and launching applicaitons.

- Notepad++ for all my scripting needs.

- Firebug for debugging websites in firefox.

- Colorzilla for picking colours out of firefox.

- Stumbleupon the cocaine of the interweb.

- I used to use http://deezer.com for streaming music but its been blocking a lot of bands , Most of the other services don't work in canada .

Barnes and Noble in the States here will have Free Wi-Fi service, this is pretty cool for those who need a place to connect/read/download porn for free on the go
