Camino

 

Can it be a widget? It has saved me more than a few times...

 

for me it is Aperture because I use it everyday and it helps out a lot in raw photos.

 

iTunes.

 

.Mac with iMap and Sync

 

On the practical side...

ChronoSync - I've never been so backed up in my life.

No, wait - you know what I mean.

 

there are waaaay too many to list. but if i had to pick a few:

adium
xcode
camino
mail
iphoto

 

Garageband. Quite simply, there is nothing else like it out there.

IMO, there are 2 apps that should get the award for software of the decade. One is Google Earth, which is a brilliantly conceived implementation that unifies desktop and internet technologies in such a seamless way not seen before or arguably since.

The other of course is Garageband, another brilliantly conceived app which, for the first time, opens the door for creating music wide open to virtually anyone, from the rank novice who knows absolutely nothing about playing music to the full-fledged advanced musician. Most of the iLife apps are pretty good, have their good points and well, idiosyncrasies, but Garageband is a knock-your-socks-off stunner.

 

Photoshop

 

I second iTunes

 

Final Cut Studio. Drooooooooooool worth stuff.

 

I'm on the edge between Rita and Seashore.

Though when I'm not working, Civilization IV, the Sims 2, Diablo II, Warcraft III and Diablo II are always good.

 

iphoto - its no pro tool but perfect for what i need.
I nearly said rapidweaver - awsome peice of software but its still a young product so maybe next time

 

emacs -f doctor in a terminal

 

iLife 06 (specifically iTunes and iPhoto).
Handbrake
CoreTempDuo
Activity Monitor (for my more lonely moments)
Handbrake
Handbrake

 

So hard to pick an absolute favourite!

I would struggle to live without iLife 06 and iTunes.

I wouldn't say there are many things I do on my mac that I couldn't do on another platform, but my mac makes it all much easier and much more fun!

 

I don't like any app...but i love Exposé!

 

iTunes has changed my life....

 

of my three machines on the internet

ancient compaq laptop from the last century...ie

semi ancient dual g4 power mac...ie

intel imac...safari and opera and both of those browsers kick the butt of microsoft's ie, but i don't think ie is the worst thing on the planet like many here may tend to think

i wish i could say that i could use my photoshop, illustrator, and page maker competently, but those great huge and difficult apps are for my wife...i actually find microsoft word too complicated, if i am to know "everything" about the program, and i stick to microsoft works word processor on my pc since i work much faster with that than word

my real depth on computers was fixing them as a call for hire, warranty, and self employed technician for seven years...and i will be very happy to get out of that job ... all longtime computer technicians, IT project managers, and network engineers know what i mean

 

There's not nearly enough VoodooPad love in this thread.

 

I can't get enough of NetNewsWire.

 

pac the man x- it's a pacman game for osx. it's like my best friend. I can't stop playing it

I don't think itunes works- it works on pc's as well
