By default Gatekeeper allows you to run apps from the Mac App Store and from verified developers. You can change this setting in the Security preference pane. If you use this setting, or the Mac App Store only setting, you can still run unsigned apps. Just Control- or right-click on an app and choose Open. Gatekeeper will display a dialog asking if you're sure you want to open the application.

[kirkmc adds: There is an extensive article on Macworld about Gatekeeper, but I felt this would be good to mention as a hint. I think most readers of this site won't use the restrictive settings, but you may work with others who do, or administer computers, and may want to launch unapproved apps on those computers from time to time.]
