Fave freeware/shareware

I know there's been a thread on this before, but thought it would be nice to revive it and have an updated version.

Let's see, it's tough keeping it to 10 but (and avoiding iApps)...

Cocktail (great for keeping things running smoothly)

Safari Enhancer (deactivates cache and much more)

Cookie Muncher (manages your cookies)

Menu Meters (track system operations from menu bar)

VLC (a must-have)

PodUtil (handy for letting one backup the iPod content)

Delocalizer (gets rid of unneeded language packs)

Carbon Copy Cloner (does exactly what it says, flawlessly)

Transparent Dock (customize the dock)

DejaMenu (makes the menubar a popup anywhere on the page)


Others that I would include in a fave list that might knock CCC and another one or two from the above list would include pithhelmet, tinkertool, streamripperx, pacifist, konfabulator, iBert and shapeshifter (for themes).

Speaking of freeware and shareware...anyone know a good way to customize the top menu? Like where the clock and Airport icons are? Id like to add my IP address and a few other cool things like itunes control. Thanks.
