2. AppCleaner (uninstalls applications completely)
3. ClipGrab (allows you to download online video from variety of sites)
4. GrandPerspective (gives you a graphical representation of what's taking up space on your hard drive)
5. Virtual DJ Home (great and fun DJ app with turntables and powerful engine; free too)
6. MusicBrainz Picard (scans any music track and finds its info, song name/artist/album/etc...)

Chrome
iStatPro widget
