I rarely do software reviews, but thought I’d quickly give a mention to Skype.
Skype is not VoIP, but allows you to voice chat with other users. For free. But it’s better than it’s competitors.
AIM has “talk” but it doesn’t work behind any firewalls. Quality isn’t great. Yahoo works behind [...]

Dynamic PHP publishing, controllable on a per-template basis: You can control whether you publish a dynamic or static page on a per-template basis, letting you balance the publishing and traffic for your weblog. [...]

Installed them all (at once), then quit Firefox. Restarted [...]

A ‘clickwheel’ combines the buttons and the wheel, to make the interface even more compact [...]
