Open Source - Mac

It has been awhile since I have mentioned open source software for the Mac.

Some of the software listed on this site are:

Web Browsing

Mozilla Firefox
Camino - a more native OS X app. Fast and simple.

Video Player/Video Podcasting
Miro - Plays any video type (much more than quicktime).
Subscribe to video RSS, download, and watch all in one.
Torrent support. Search and download from YouTube and
others.

IM - Instant Messaging
Adium - Connect to multiple IM accounts simultaneously in a single app, including: AOL IM, MSN, and Jabber.

Email
Mozilla Thunderbird - Powerful spam filtering, solid interface, and all the features you need.

RSS
Vienna - Very nice, native RSS client.
RSSOwl - Solid cross-platform RSS client.

Running Windows Software on Macs
Q Emulator - Run Windows programs on your Intel Mac at near native speed. Works on G4 / G5 Macs too, but much slower.

Wifi Scanning
KisMac - The best wireless scanner for Mac. Find wireless access when you're on the go.

Media Center
Centerstage - Full-screen interface for playing audio, video, and photos. Connect it to your TV.

Personal Finance
Cashbox - Simple, easy to use application for managing personal finances.
Buddi - A personal finance and budgeting program, aimed at those who have little or no financial background.

There is lots more, but you get the idea. Additionally, it has software listed by categories:Utilities, Writing and Typesetting and Education.
