Apps, not technologies...
I intentionally left out Spotlight, Dashboard, QuickTime 7, core audio, etc., as I don't really consider these applications -- they're more like core technologies (though clearly, QuickTime Player is an application, but I left it lumped in with QuickTime7).
Dictionary
Dictionary is so handy.
Dictionary
Even better: try control-apple-D and hovering the cursor over a word...
Dictionary
There is an even faster way to get to your dictionary. Point your mouse to the word you want to look up. No need to click or highlight or select, just point there. Then press A drawback is that you can only select text from within that thingie, but not copy it, just like from the dictionary dashboard widget. I personally think this is ridiculous. Maybe its fixed in a future update. Regards Pepi

Textedit? Got some nice changes

TextEdit I missed -- it's now been added; thanks for the catch.
Goodbye, dictionary.com. It's been fun.
I love the Cocoa dictionary.

Here is something that I think is pretty darn handy... I use the Logitech Corless Mouse (Cordless Mouseman Optical) and have the logitech control panel loaded. I have programmed (Assigned) the Wheelbutton to Command Control D. Now when I Wheel click on any word on a safari web page or in my email I get a pop up definition of that word without the awkward keystoke.
Safari
For the RSS integration alone. RSS makes reading daily news sites so much easier, and Apple's implementation is so much better than any other browser's, on OS X, Windows, or Linux.
Safari
Heh. Aside from the RSS bit, Safari 2.x is the biggest pile of crap that comes with Tiger, especially compared to 1.2.x
Safari
And the point of that post is to inform us of ... what?
Keychain Access
Between Panther and Tiger, Keychain Access went from being almost unusable to pretty decent. I can't think of any other app that made that kind of improvement.
Search Keychain
The search field in Keychain Access is a must-have, and I'm pretty sure that's new to Tiger.
Are you serious?
There's a search in keychain?? Oh wow, that'll help out next time I have to go digging around for x509 certs for 802.1x authentication servers. Looking through that list line by line severly sucked, and the sort by date didn't work the way I expected it to!
Stickies
The one thing for which I'm grateful with the most regularity is the new dock menu for Stickies, which is no longer a mile high and dog slow when you have more than half a dozen notes. Second to that is Keychain Access, which is suddenly useful. And as ugly as Mail continues to be, it doesn't bug me nearly as much as the previous version with bogus error messages.
Automator!
Automator is my hands down favorite application in Tiger! This program has saved my so much time and saved my from doing the tedious stupid jobs I used to hate. One of the first Automator actions I wrote was to save a graphic file as JPEG. I did this so much before automator I started using ImageMajick in the terminal to save time.
