There are a few applications I use a lot and that I am 100% in love with. I recommend everyone download and make use of them. Of course, my tastes in computer technology may vary from yours, but it's good to share right?  
Password Master: http://www.railheaddesign.com - $10
Store Passwords & Serial Numbers. I cannot live without this program, and everyone I've shown it to has become addicted. I spend a lot of time online. I have accounts at different websites, I have passwords for email accounts, I have accounts for paying bills online. All these accounts require usernames and passwords to access the information. I don't want to keep track of this info in my brain, so I use Password Master to hold it all for me. When I want to visit a website and access my account I just open Password Master, enter 1 password for accessing all my data and then view the account information I need. Never forget data again.
Proteus: http://www.proteusx.com - $15
Instant Messaging for Every Service. If you don't know what instant messaging is then you're really missing out (in my opinion). Instant messaging allows you to send text messages from your computer to friends, receive a reply and basically have an instant conversation without spending money on a phone call. There are many instant messaging services (all are free) and the great thing about Proteus is it seamlessly integrates them all into one program (MSN, AOL, ICQ and Yahoo). Proteus is open on my Mac all day long.
Synergy: http://www.wincent.com - $5
Control iTunes. iTunes is incredibly easy to use but doesn't have all the fancy features some people wish it had. To get a few additional features, here comes Synergy, basically a remote control for iTunes. Synergy places a play/pause, next and previous button in your toolbar so you don't have to bring iTunes up in order to change songs. Synergy also has customizable hot key functions so you can control additional parts of iTunes by typing certain keys on your keyboard. Synergy is inexpensive, fun and another of my favorites.
Watson: http://www.karelia.com - $29
Internet Resource Tool. If you have ever used Sherlock, which is included with OSX, then you will be familiar with Watson. The difference is Watson has tons more tools than Sherlock does, it is faster AND it was on the market 1st! There is a recipe tool, a weather tool, a Research tool, Football and Baseball tools and many more! This is absolutely my favorite piece of OSX Shareware. Update: Watson has been sold to Sun Microsystems. The software will not be updated by its original developer and I'm not sure what will happen to it. Very sad, very.
