I recently got a new four-core MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD hard drive, and the high resolution matte screen.
Communication
I have five different Google Mail accounts.
Browser
For browsing the internet I use Google Chrome.
Coding & Development
A lot of my time is spent in Terminal.app doing various tasks.
Running tests, using Git, shelling into production boxes to see what's wrong with them, etc.
GitHub recently got an office after two years of working at home and coffee shops.

Mailplane makes it easy to switch between these accounts and keeps my email separate from the rest of my browsing, just the way I like it.
