Konfabulator is a JavaScript runtime engine for Mac OS X that lets you run little files called Widgets that can do pretty much whatever you want them to. Widgets can be alarm clocks, calculators, can tell you your AirPort signal strength, will fetch the latest stock quotes for your preferred symbols, and even give your current local weather.
Not too terribly useful... just a lot of eye candy. I've yet to see the value in it worth paying for. Hopefully Apple can offer something more.
