Something I'd love to have on the Mac, but would be nice on any platform: A "what was that sound?" log. The Macs are constantly making noises that are clearly trying to inform me of something, be it an inbound email or an inbound chat or something else, I've figured out (and turned off) most of 'em, but there are still one or two "WTF?" sounds that I'm trying to figure out.

Maybe on the Mac most apps play nicely and you could turn on the hearing-impaired mode ("BEEP!").
On Windows, I assume there's someway to make a system message scanner that filtered out messages sent to the sound subsystem.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
