- Perian (http://perian.org) Perian lets quicktime run almost any video format. Unfortunately it's not under active development. Still useful to have installed regardless.
– Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome) Don't install Flash unless you have to. Chrome has it built in. I use Safari for most of my browsing and switch to Chrome when I want to use flash.
– If you aren't going to install Flash, then install YouTube5 (http://www.verticalforest.com/youtube5-extension/) It's a Safari extension that lets you watch YouTube videos natively without Flash.

- Day-O (http://www.shauninman.com/archive/2011/10/20/day_o_mac_menu_...) Adds a drop down calendar to the menubar.
- Alfred (http://www.alfredapp.com/) Another vote for Alfred. Much quicker and more powerful than Spotlight.
- 1Password (https://agilebits.com/onepassword) Remembers passwords/logins and makes it super easy to auto login to sites.
