iGoogleBar is a Firefox extension that
adds Google Apps favicons to the Google Apps Bar,
using them as triggers for the Apps' respective iGoogle Gadgets.
In the screenshot below, you can see how this can be used
to check your calendar from inside Docs.
It also shows unread counts
from Gmail and Reader!
Can I customize which Apps are displayed in the bar?
Yes, to some extent.
You need to go to about:config in Firefox,
right-click on the list of preferences and choose
New > String.
The name of the preference must be bolinfest.igooglebar
and the value must be a comma-delimited list from the following set:
Gmail
Calendar
Documents
Photos
Groups
Reader
Notebook
Personally, my value for this preference is
Gmail,Calendar,Reader,Documents
Features you probably wish I would add
but likely won't because I don't have time:
Provide a nicer customization interface than about:config.
Include your favorite Google product as an option for the bar
Let you add your own links and specify your own gadgets
Support Google Apps - currently, this only works
correctly in personalized Gmail, Calendar, etc.
Provide the option for the iGoogle gadgets to be tear-offs instead
of simply pop-ups
Include the "more" dropdown in the bar.
(Sorry, it was easier to clobber the contents of the bar rather
than preserve the "more" link.)

Surf Canyon eliminates the need to repeatedly search within results. I
no longer have to try to think like an algorithm. As soon as I find one
needle in the haystack of results, Surf Canyon pulls out the others.

I have tested [Surf Canyon] with all my searches... I am particularly
carried away by the quality of the results supplied as well as the
speed with which one discovers that which one seeks.
