I know we just mentioned the upcoming iPhone version of 1Password yesterday, so I’ll make this swift. Version 2.7 (of the desktop variety) was just released and it adds a brand new feature: a fully keyboard-accessible HUD window which allows you to instantly navigate to a website and log in.

According to the developers, this feature has been In the works for over a year. It integrates all of your “Go & Fill” 1Click bookmarks directly into your web browser. The HUD window (yes, I have a weak spot for those sexy, transparent black HUDs) has a search feature at the top of it which grants for speedy location of the bookmark you’re looking for.

So, please excuse the extra mention; I think this new feature is useful enough to warrant a quick note. Current users just need to check the auto-updates within the application. Curious celebrations can visit the 1Password page.

Google’s Mac group has released Precipitate, a plugin which allows you to search Google Docs and Google Bookmarks from the same interface that you search you Mac. It works with both Spotlight and Google Desktop for Mac. Basically the developer’s idea is to have a one stop search interface for information on your Mac and information in the Google cloud so you don’t have to remember where you saved something. Sounds like a good idea to me.

Google’s Precipitate is a free download from Google Code.

BOB is destroying my life. I never invited BOB to my home - my wife brought him in and set him up next to our TV. Now I can’t get away from him.

Who (or what) is BOB? BOB is a little device that limits the amount of time that you can use electronics, …

Goldman Sachs IT Spending Indexes

(Credit: Goldman Sachs)

Goldman Sachs has bad news for most of the IT economy: IT spending will slip from 7 percent growth to 5 percent growth in 2008. While not yet recessionary, the outlook is dipping dangerously close to that, as its indexes in its latest IT spending report show:

Expectations of budget growth remain down significantly on a year-over-year basis, with many CIOs limiting their purchases to projects with a high and fast ROI. We continue to believe that 2008 IT spending will decelerate to 5 percent from 7 percent in 2007….Demand for discretionary IT projects dropped to its lowest point in the history of our survey, with caution beginning to spread to the offshore providers.

CIOs have emphasized to us that they are buying on a need versus want basis, are often downsizing deals to fit with current budget constraints…. In fact, contrary to general tightening in spending, buys with an especially compelling ROI are being accelerated in the current environment.

The sky isn’t falling, but it’s going to scrape a few vendors’ heads in a worsening IT economy. No wonder venture capitalists are bemoaning their exit options and returns.

But not everyone is going to get pummeled. In terms of spending priorities for 2008-09, server virtualization and server consolidation were ranked No. 1 and No. 2, respectively, with cost cutting hitting No. 3 and grid computing and on-demand computing rounding out the very bottom of the list. (In addition to open-source software, which is not surprising because people shouldn’t necessarily be proactively “buying open source” so much as buying open-source virtualization, applications, etc.)

In short, no one is clamoring to spend money on buzzwords.

The Register spots an error in Google’s Gears documentation, which advocates that Google Gears will run on OSX 14 and “”Mac OSX 13.9 and below.”

Google might be the future, but it’s not that far into the future just yet.

Nice to see Googlers can make …
