Safari makes use of bonjour in that it allows you to navigate to zeroconf servers near you. It was also recently open-sourced by Apple, as they were disapointed that no-one was using it, despite it being a fantastic way to network groups of computers easily.

John Gruber at Daring Fireball nails it: <blockquote><i> It’s not widely publicized, but those integrated search bars in web browser toolbars are revenue generators.
