Fluid gives any webapp a home on your Mac OS X desktop complete with Dock icon, standard menu bar, and logical separation from your other web browsing activity.

  Use Fluid to run YouTube, GTalk, Flickr, Basecamp, Delicious, .Mac webmail, or any other webapp as a separate Mac desktop application.

  Anytime you click a link to another site in an SSB, the link is opened in your system default web browser, keeping your SSB dedicated to the original site you've specified.

It also features a "Quicklaunch" box which gives you immediate access to your friends' profiles (just start typing a friend's name and it will autocomplete – press enter and go to that friend's profile) and Facebook searches (type a phrase and press enter). Notifications are issued using Growl and can be customized to the user's liking (including turning on/off and customizing display style). They are:

  * A friend updated his profile
  * A friend changed his status
  * A friend wrote a new note
  * Someone wrote on your wall
  * You have new messages
  * You have new pokes
  * You have new friend requests
  * You have new photo comments

  FMenu checks for updates by default every 5 seconds (or at whatever interval you set), but checks for each kind of notification (friend details, friend requests, wall, photo comments, messages, pokes, events) separately. Consequently each particular type of notification is refreshed once every 35 seconds.

  Freeze Frame

  Freeze Frame uses the underlying UNIX power of Mac OS X to make your Mac run more smoothly while undergoing a CPU-heavy process, whether it be arranging loops in GarageBand or applying a filter in Photoshop. Freeze Frame allows you to completely freeze an application, making it use absolutely no CPU cycles. This means the next time you're applying a filter in Photoshop and Mail decides it needs to update right now, you can instantly freeze Mail in its tracks allowing Photoshop to run its process uninterrupted. Freeze Frame's "Focus Freeze" feature allows you to freeze all applications but the frontmost one, leaving all the processor cycles for that one app, and preventing any other apps from hijacking that app's progress.

  Keyclick is a Mac OS X preference pane that provides subtle audio feedback for each keystroke the system recognizes. Years ago keyboards were made with premium key switches that provided a resounding click when a key snapped over.

Human factors work on video terminals in the 1980s showed that the perception of keyboard crispness is correlated with audio feedback.
