Best: Google Finance Google Finance
This is another extremely useful service that Google.com provides for free. It might not have enough features for brokers, but for people who just got introduced to stock market and trading this site is very helpful and easy to use. Take a look, if not for the information, then for the mere "coolness" of the interactivity provided through use of DHTML.

Best: Boxes and Arrows Boxes and Arrows
I found Boxes and Arrows in the spotlight @movabletype.org. I must say that the site truly deserved it. It has best articles on web design and architecture I've seen so far. Very easy to understand, useful, short and to the point, the articles help everyone who develops applications and/or sites for the web. Here is what they have to say about themselves: "Boxes and Arrows is the definitive source for the complex task of bringing architecture and design to the digital landscape. [...] Boxes and Arrows is a peer-written journal dedicated to discussing, improving and promoting the work of this community, through the sharing of exemplary technique, innovation and informed opinion. Boxes and Arrows strives to provoke thinking among our peers, to push the limits of the accepted boundaries of these practices and to challenge the status quo by teaching new or better techniques that translate into results for our companies, our clients and our comrades."

Best: Skinning a website (article) Skinning a website
"They're called skins - or themes. There are two brands of skinnable sites out there. One is a site that provides you with a basic layout and allows you to change colors and swap out images, but keeps the same overall layout of the site. The other is for the more adventurous: in the more radical type of site skinning, everything except the actual textual content of the page can - and will - vary from skin to skin." Domesticat will teach you how to make a more adventurous version out of your site by use of PHP and Cookies. This is the article that made me change the design layout once again and I bet it will move you too :)

Best: CIA: The World Factbook CIA: The World Factbook
Information on every country in the world including official and unofficial facts. P.S. Following sentence shocked me, as I was sure that CIA wouldn't write stuff that would get any history teacher to die of a heart attack: "The defeat of the Russian Empire in World War I led to the seizure of power by the communists and the formation of the USSR." I still don’t know why they have something like this in there...
