Some really useful Mac freeware:

Chicken of the VNC - great VNC client.

Handbrake - DVD ripping
(apparently also available on Linux and command line on Windows)

Here are some I use; I searched the thread and it didn't find them:

CPU-Z
Information about your processor, motherboard and memory.

CCleaner
Cleans all sorts off the PC. Easy to use and lots of options.

RegScrubXP
Registry cleaner.

ISO Recorder
Burn CD and DVD images and create ISO images. Shell extension, so right click menu option.

Hopefully you'll find them useful, if you don't use them already.

Note: These are the locations I downloaded them from without any problems or spyware etc.

Suse Linux 10.1 with compiz, and the ati/nvidia proprietary drivers. Xgl is really l33t!

Synergy ..( Windows , *nix , mac )

Fantastic piece of software which acts as a keyboard/mouse server. Basically allowing you to use one keyboard/mouse setup for multiple pc's/monitors.

One pc acts as host and you can add as many clients as you wish. Drag the mouse icon off the left/right of the host screen and it appears on the left/right monitor , controlling the relevent PC.

Excellent little cd burning program, like Nero Burning Rom but without the bloatware included since version 6. Comes in both x86 and x64 variants.

quite an odd, but very useful writing app (OSX). works full-screen with no icons, scollbars or other such clutter. it's shareware, but as far as i can tell isn't time-limited.

using it is like being whisked back to the 70's with ace green-screen monitors and blinking block cursors

That's a great bit of software, Windows users might want to check out Dark Room, which is basically a Windows tribute

MS Synctoy. Lets you sync files and folders around easily.
