Web gateway to a crappy speech synthesizer, outputs an .au file. Like this one!

Web gateway to a much better speech synthesizer from Bell Labs. It does different languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and more), different voices and a high-powered text processing engine ("Lumber will cost $3.95 for 7 ft. on Sat.").

The Mozart Project, the life, times and music of W. A. Mozart. Includes a bio, complete list of compositions, and selected essays.

Windows people, all hail RegEdit.com, the ultimate resource on the Windows Registry. (Thanks mpc of MemePool.)

Wowza. Decent big-picture broadband video streaming. You'll need a PC with IE and a DSL-or-better connection. Mostly original content right now, with a collection of movie trailers. Plug-in can even go full screen. (Thanks mathowie of MetaFilter.)
