Comment and replies on Miro:
Cons:
- it's a memory hog application.
- slow and heavy since it's based on the XUL technology from Mozilla
- Not cocoa!
- has some weird issues with leopard
Pros:
- unlike iTunes it also enable you to watch and subscribe youtube channels
- has a very nice portal for browsing and picking up your favorite channels. I wish apple store has something pretty slick like this
For those who like French TV, it has a stream of the Zapping de Canal+: a very good daily best of French TV:

although xul & python based, this application is a fantastic idea which is beautifully implemented. there are a small handful of minor interface bugs, but it generally fits in nicely with the look, feel & function(s) of os x and overall, miro is pretty damn stable & quick. i mostly use it as a conduit for educational and news related videos/video feeds, but its built-in guide/browser offers one many different types of content as well... and if you can't find it in there, you can always add external feeds to your channel list as well.
i switched over to miro from joost after their builds started getting hefty unstable and the joost team announced their intention to switch over to a flash/browser-based interface. i don't regret this one bit at all though. after all, joost was not an os x "native" program either. plus, knowing that i am using a community developed, open-source application which supports a much wider array of codecs, including of-course, open-source formats, (not to mention its integrated library feature, which allows one to access local videos sitting on their hard-drive as well) makes me feel "that much better".
i would not hesitate to recommend this program to anyone interested, and am looking forward to seeing it undergo further development.
Change log is here.

Comment and replies on Mega Zoomer:
that's one the best things, I've ever got in mac. I wish it was also working for Firefox? any solution for running firefox in fullscreen?
super useful if you vnc to your desktop by laptop and you don't have a full screen feature on your client, e.g. gotomypc!
This is great... I've used Macs forever, but I've always been frustrated that the Mac does not have a Windows-style maximise. Shame it does not work with Carbon apps... anyone knows if there is a way of doing this?
This, combined with Preview (with the toolbar hidden) makes for excellent clutter-free e-book reading. It's just awesome!
i ws unable to install it. the .bundle file won't move to the plugins folder. any help?
greatest invention since sliced bread!!!!
@ geet2i: maybe you don't have the rights to do this?
Not entirely full screen: you'll still see the scroll bars, and a 1 pixel high line on top. Nevertheless, to watch a Flickr slideshow Mega Zoomer works great! :)
(Except you have to hide/show the status bar, toolbar etc yourself.)
Note: Opera 9.25 does a real full screen (out of the box), but doesn't respect embedded color profiles of photos (check here, hover on the photo in the center, on the top).
I loooooooove this program. Love love love.
