And for Firefox Developer Tools, we have the Scratchpad. I like ours better due to the keyboard shortcuts for eval/display/inspect/re-eval function/etc, but I may be biased ;)
I'm a bit low-tech in regards to my password scheme, but here's how I do it:
First, I generated an 8 character password using pwgen (great program, btw) that is just mixed-case. I then add several characters based on the name of the website/service I'm logging into.
Using this, I can easily remember my password to everything, and each one is unique.
Even that is not particularly secure since if someone discovers your password is "j8t3$£$hackn", they could easily guess your amazon password is "j8t3$£$amzn" and your reddit pass is "j8t3$£$rddt". Or brute force just those last few chars and benefit from a much reduced search space.
If you are adding to the 8 char password you aren't creating unique passwords. They share the initial 8 chars with each other. Still, this method is much more secure then using password.ly.
I was excited when I found out about this a year ago and tried it out...I hated it, though. There's no indication as to what state you're in and it can get maddening at times!
Luckily, zsh actually allows you to change your prompt when the mode changes. I have mine set up to change the color of part of it whenever I'm in command mode. Definitely worth setting up.
The website is beautiful, but I don't even think the notion of a "javascript shopping cart" should exist. It's stupidly dangerous. This is real money we're talking about! Wow.
It's not a big deal. Just do a check on the backend. You can swap price tags in stores too, and they most certainly will not honor it if they realize.
I've done a mid 5 figure number of transactions through PayPal for digital goods, and I don't use the encrypted links (mainly because Flash doesn't support them). There have been a remarkably small number of fraud attempts (<0.1%).
One guy bought a game for $0.01, then initiated a chargeback when it didn't arrive. I raised my eyebrows, issued a refund, and the matter was over.
Not being able to trust the client is intrinsic to JS shopping carts, but I don't think this is a critical flaw.
Although I don't see what prevents merging the JS cart with a web based cart on the checkout page. Send the contents, and the page with the big 'click to charge card' button is generated server side.
Actual transaction happens in Paypal's page. Not for a complete e-commerce site, but for simple usages with few products i beleive this is a good solution.
It's really not that difficult if you use a parser + whitelist. You don't have to care about this sort of thing if you limit people to using certain tags/attributes in WYSIWYG editors and other inputs.
Disabling Vimium is a bit overkill, you can press "i" to go into insert mode and it'll let you do as you please...if you use it more often, though, it's best to blacklist it.
I didn't know about the insert mode thing for a long time, but when I figured it out it was a "duh" moment :)
Shift+click the "plus" button and it'll maximize. I've been using BetterTouchTool's window movement abilities to set hotkeys to maximize and halve windows. It'll also do an aero-snap-esque thingy. Pretty useful
Cmd+tab is pretty nice, keep in mind you can use Cmd+` to switch between windows of the current application. It's a bit different than the way Windows does it, but once you use it for a little bit you get used to it and Windows feels a bit awkward ;)
I'm currently working with these for a senior design project...I must say, I'm not a huge fan. You can do some neat things with the accelerometers, but the RF range is severely limited. Having worn one for extended periods of time, I must say that it's not something I'd enjoy wearing around. It's bulky and a bit unsightly.
Still, it's fun to hack with, and you can do some cool things with accelerometer data. Definitely worth the $25.
I'm really disappointed there wasn't more information on what he was running, this is something I'd love to set up on my own, with or without the Rasperry Pi.

Probably not 100% what you wanted, but they're really handy for sketching out code fragments.
