Browers
On Firefox 2.0 beta 1 (OS X) - After a couple of days:
(I am comparing from 1.0.7, so these features may not be new to 2.0)
Me Likey:
Each tab now has its own close button, like in Safari instead of just one right at the end of the tab bar.
Spell check for text input fields.
It still seems quite buggy, I have problems with using the space bar and up down right left buttons to move around pages. Maybe I've selected a preference that I didn't mean to.
I am playing around with some Camino extensions (for Camino of course not for Firefox, I can't hack) If I like them, they might encourage me to use Camino more. I am not big on the extensions I only have Adblock for Firefox, there are so many of them when I go to the extensions directory I am overwhelmed.
I have downloaded Flock, but ahh, I can't be arsed. There always seems so many other thing that I'd rather do. But I must get round to it. Same with OmniWeb. I have folders full of un-tasted apps.

More on Podcasts
Other podcasts that I am listening to.
Buzz Out Loud
Here are other CNET podcasts. Me likey Gadget Girls, or is it Girls Gone Gadget as they say on that page? Or as they said lately, the Gad-Jets.
Diggnation Kevin Rose and Alex Albrecht. Digg.com highlights, weekly podcast and vlog (vodcast?). Amusing, sometimes makes me laugh. (Yes ducks too can laugh.)
BBC Podcasts. To inform, educate and entertain.
Having a listen to The Mac Observer's Mac Geek Gab
as well and checking out podcasts on iTunes, which is a lot easier to use than all those other podcast directories e.g. Podcast Bunker odeo idiotvox Podcast Alley, though iTunes has fewer obscurantist tendencies.
Things not podcast:
IdleWeb is a screensaver that loads and scrolls through the websites that you tell it to.
PhotoBrowser v0.8
Simple Photo Browser with EXIF info viewer. Nice, simple jpeg browser (Cocoa). Gives EXIF info.

Aaaaand I'm back again
After another long break, I pop in to give a quick update on things. Before I become to lazy to bother.
Channel 4 Radio recommended in the Observer (a Sunday Newspaper) a few weeks ago seems quite interesting. Strange that you have to register with them to receive any of the downloads, I think they are tempting us into their lair with free content only to later have all the good stuff be unfree. Gives you your own personal RSS feed of stuff added to your Channel 4 Radio library.
http://www.archive.org led me to a science show Berkley Groks which is also available as a podcast. So far I have only heard the episode (that doesn't seem like the right word) on testosterone, which seemed okay, if cheesy.
Text2iPod lets you put longer than note sized pieces of text on your iPod in the contacts folder.
iFeedPod 1.11 is a fantastic piece of software letting you download RSS feeds to you 'Pod.
So For this entry at least it's all about the 'Pod.
I am moulting at the moment so have a lot of feathery cleaning to do, which is a pain, but must be done; and am somewhat tired. I feel a nap coming on.
