    Activity Monitor has been working in my dock for years, showing me my bandwidth utilisation. What's new about this?

    Looks like a shameless plug from the site author for his GPL library.

    Personally, I find the Dock to be a waste of screen real estate. I keep it at its smallest size, empty and hidden; I prefer to usee Quicksilver to launch applications.
