[*** FEATURE LIST ***]
1) Powered light blocks: The name says it all
Note that these can be powered indirectly. In other words, if a neighboring block is receiving power, these will light up. This allow you to, for example, place them on the cieling, and run wires above the cieling to give them power, without having to do any complicated wiring.

2) Hibachi: The top surface of block ignites when it receives power, and extinguishes when power stops. (Thanks to GunboatDebater for the block idea)

3)Obsidian Pressure Plates: How many times have you designed a circuit containing a pressure plate, only to realize it wouldn't work right because passing cows, creepers and even chickens would accidentally trigger it? Well, these pressure plates are triggered by the player, and the player only. These are also used in the crafting recipe for obsidian detector rails.

Cement Buckets: Flows like a liquid, but solidifies into a solid block of smooth stone with time. If a redstone signal is applied to a source block of cement placed in the world, it keeps it in its liquid state until the signal is turned off (useful for cement traps + syncronizing flow for mass simultaneous construction). Note that using soul sand to create cement does come alone with certain moral ramifications...

5)Block Dispenser: Functions like an item dispenser, but dispenses blocks and entities in front of the dispenser instead. With regular blocks, when the dispenser receives power, the block is placed in front, then removed once the dispenser is powered down. Also varies from a typical dispenser in that in places fully functional minecart and boats in front of it, rather than the items.
Why is this useful? How about self-loading cannons? Water/lava/gravel/sand/bomb traps? Minecart dispensers that actually place the minecart on the tracks? Trap doors? Secret passages? Self-extending draw-bridges? A boat dispenser that drops a ready to use boat? Self-modifying circuits (this thing works on all redstone elements)? Oh my
In terms of the crafting recipe, the logic behind it is that with time the mossy cobble absorbs some of the attributes of the spawner around which it exists. Applying a red-stone current activates some of these latent spawning properties.

6)Cauldron: Sick and tired of manually having to cook pork chops one at a time? Me too. This is a block that functions like a chest unless it is directly above a fire block. If it is, it slowly cooks any food items in its inventory, one at a time (the affect of the fire is hot enough to cook, but not enough the smelt). This allows the player to dump any uncooked food in his inventory whenever he passes by the cauldron, and come back later to collect it in its cooked form as needed. Note that while a fire directly below the cauldron is required for any cooking to take place, additional fires below the pot (as in the blocks neighboring the fire underneath the cauldron, diagonals included) will provide additional heat and decrease the cooking time substantially. The recipe includes a bucket of water, and a bone to create a soup stock which any food can then be cooked in. Unfortunately, the only source of bone in the Minecraft world is from reanimated human skeletons. A Steve's gotta do, what a Steve's gotta do...

7)Detector Rail Variants: While the detector rails were a nice addition to the game, one common complaint is that they can't detect the contents of a minecart. These variations on the detector rail allow you to do just that. The wood version detects all carts passing over. Stone (the regular ones) have been modified to detect carts containing *something*, whether that be a chest, furnace, mob, or what have you. Obsidian rails *only* detect a cart containing a player. This can be extremely useful in routing carts to various locations in an automated rail network.

The Companion Cube: With advanced artificial intelligence that prevents it from running off cliffs (or pushing you over them), the Companion Cube is the ultimate virtual pet! While it doesn't require food or water, it loves to be placed, and will definitely appreciate the occasional pat on the head or a bit of sympathy now and again. Always supportive, and without a complaint, be sure to take the Companion Cube wherever you roam!9)Nethercoal: It's always struck me as odd that while netherrack burns indefinitely, but it can't be used as fuel for the furnace. This feature attempts to correct that by including a new form of fuel that can be made by combining coal and netherrack (the logic behind this is that the netherrack alone doesn't burn hot enough to be used in smelting on its own). The netherrack serves to increase the burn-time of the coal allowing the player to effectively quadruple the amount of furnace fuel in his possession by combining the two.

10)Wolf Chops: Finally! A use for wolves!
