In the "things you don't care about" category, lets talk about cool software I've been using lately. OS X is my operating system of choice these days, so any time I talk about software I'm usually talking abut OS X.
LaunchBar is the shit. hit cmd+space, then type in any shortcut command that it learns from you, and it will launch the document/application/web page you have associated with the shortcut. Never take your hands off the keyboard again! Then admit that you're an uber-nerd for caring about how often you have to take your hands off the keyboard. I paid $20 for it. Even if you don't run OS X, you should still pay for it.
That's actually only the second piece of software I've paid for in 3 years. Partly blame that on old college pirating habits, and partly on the fact that Apple provides you all the software you could ever need in their default OS X install...

The only other must-have shareware that I use is uControl, which provides a virtual scrollwheel for my laptop. Try it; it's great!
