Mail.app is a pretty damn nice mail client.
Transmit is the king of FTP, or you can use lftp if you want to be a command line nerd.
You absolutely must have Quicksilver, though I can't explain why it's something you just have to try for yourself, man! Also Growl, which comes bundled with Adium now I think. |

Photo Booth is fun! And yeah, this screen is super nice. I also enjoy this keyboard. It's my first widescreen laptop.
Anyone know if I can get DiVX support in frontrow? |
perian.org - this is a quicktime component (quicktime is frontrows backend) that will play just about anything you throw at it.
The problem with front row, is that it only looks for movies in /Users/yourname/movies, but you can put a shortcut in that folder to wherever you prefer to store your movies and such in and it'll show that shortcut in the menu.
Also, for bit-torrent I'd recommend being a nerd and using the command line btlaunchmanycurses.py - not as un-userfriendly as it sounds, you just give it a folder and it checks it for .torrents and adds them / removes them accordingly. There's also Transmission that used to be banned but recently got fixed and trackers like it now. I wouldn't recommend Azureus, it's still horrible java nonsense that will quickly absorb all your memory regardless of OS. |

| I dunno, I always found it really sluggish and crammed with worthless features. The anti-mac app, if you will. |

So the Mac version of Safari 3 beta is crazy fast.
They also changed form widgets too, probably to match the rest of leopard? |

| Kap App Zapper is also good. Gooktime I must try this when I get home. When I install it, will it remove the old Safari. What exactly happens? I'm so dependent on Safari for my all my interweb needs. |
Yeah, it replaces Safari.app and presumably some internal stuff as it requires a reboot. The .dmg has an uninstall package though, so you can revert back to regular Safari.
I've not had any problems so far, though I'd wager a lot of third party plugins etc. don't work. It's noticeably faster in every way. |

Camino is damn nice especially the beta that uses the same font rendering stuff as Safari.
I might just have to use Safari though if the final is this fast and ditch my newsfire/camino combo. |

Yeah.
Leopard is going to be even more consistent in that respect, they're dropping the half a dozen or so different window styles they have in play right now and going for one unified look across the board.
So how are you liking being a MAC USER? |

man does nobody else love quicksilver?!

| No idea why anyone would subject themselves to Firefox when using a Mac, the interface feels completely wrong and things like context menus are not sized/spaced correctly. Also font rendering is trash next to Safari |
Yeah, and it feels dog slow and doesn't take advantage of OSX specific stuff like the keychain. |

| The Quicksilver Flickr/Transmit plugins are the best uploading solution, friends. |

I haven't pirated Transmit yet. |
you really should!
So yeah, I've had Safari 3 beta open for the entirety of the last couple of days and it hasn't become dog slow nor has it eaten all of my memory - this was all standard fare on older versions, eh. |

Tutorial videos
At its most basic, you can find an item after invoking quicksilver, then hit tab and you get a second 'action' pane. Say I want to upload an image to flickr - the flickr plugin comes with QS by default I think:
I can hit DSC, tab, Fli and get this:
You get a ton of app specific 'actions' depending on what plugins you have installed. The iTunes plugin has a bunch of applescripts for controlling iTunes, so you can alter playlists or hit 'pp' for play-pause, etc. |
