I've been using Cyberduck as my primary FTP client for a year or two now and have been very happy with it so far. I ended up donating, making it the first FTP client I've ever bothered to pay for. :)
I sympathize with some of the other reviewers, but I really don't mind the frequent updates. Better to be updated too often than to let security holes sit unpatched.
Others may disagree but I like the "set it and forget it" auto-update mechanism. I always have the newest version and don't have to think about it. I'm perfectly capable of updating myself, but the less I have to think about it the better.
Plus in my opinion this is a very good thing for basic users who aren't checking MacUpdate every day and might otherwise never run software updates. For most users, Google is doing them a favor by offering frequent updates that are installed transparently in the background.
I absolutely love Sparrow. Primarily I like that it gives me the threaded "conversation" view similar to Gmail, but for all my accounts and without having to use a web client.
Initially I thought Lion's new version of Mail might become my default email client again thanks to its new conversation view.
However I realized that Lion Mail's conversation view only shows messages from the current mailbox, while Sparrow includes all messages from the thread no matter where they are stored. To me this makes a huge difference in its usefulness.
Thanks for sharing your work with everyone. You might want to consider different branding, though. Your use of "Mac OS X" and "iTunes" in the name, as well as Apple's own remote icon, make this appear to be an official Apple product at first glance. :)
As someone who's perfectly capable of setting up my own server software on Mac or Linux, I still find this valuable. I like how portable the whole package is. It's nice to be able to grab a copy of the MAMP folder and know that I have everything I need to redeploy an identical config on any stock Mac OS X system.
I first played this years ago when I found it bundled with Mandrake linux. It's great to see this game maintained for Mac as well, and still free. A simple concept but very entertaining and playable for hours on end. Definitely worth a try.
Bombich's Carbon Copy Cloner and NetRestore are by far the two most useful apps I use as a Mac admin and tech. Dead simple for basic cloning/imaging, but capable of being used for much more sophisticated applications if needed.
