<li><a href="http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/safari312fortiger.html">Safari 3.1.2 for Tiger</a> from Apple &#8220;includes stability improvements and the latest security updates.&#8221; In particular, that means that Apple fixed a vulnerability in the WebKit framework upon which Safari relies that could enable an exploit if you visited a Web site that used maliciously crafted JavaScript. The Leopard version of Safari was updated by either the Mac OS X 10.5.4 Update, or by Security Update 2008-004. Software Update should provide the download for those who need it, or you can download directly from Apple&#8217;s Web site. (Free, 49.2 MB)</li>
<li><a href="http://agilewebsolutions.com/products/1Password">1Password 2.6.5</a> from Agile Web Solutions updates the form-filling and password management utility with improved support for Firefox 3, support for the Safari 4 Developer Preview, DEVONagent, the OmniWeb Sneaky Peek releases, and Flock 2. Localizations were removed for smaller download sizes, credit card filling was improved on a number of sites, and a variety of small cosmetic changes were made. The new version also provides some stability fixes. ($34.95 new, free upgrade, 14 MB)</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<!-- google_ad_section_start --><p class="BigFirst">Stuart Morgan of Google has released a free Mac OS X preference pane called <a href="http://code.google.com/p/precipitate/">Precipitate</a> that enables Spotlight and Google Desktop to search documents stored in your Google Docs account, along with your Google Bookmarks. </p>
<p><!--start_image_pn1--><a name="image_pn1"></a><a href="http://www.tidbits.com/resources/2008-07/Precipitate-pane.png"><img src="http://db.tidbits.com/tbthumbs/tn9682_Precipitate-pane.jpg" width="400" height="241" border="0" /></a><BR /><!--end_image_pn1--> </p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been using Google Docs an increasing amount, and Precipitate worked fine in my initial Spotlight search tests for finding documents that exist only online. Clicking a found Google Docs document in the Spotlight search results opened it in my default browser, just as you&#8217;d expect. If you use either Google Docs or Google Bookmarks and Spotlight or Google Desktop, give Precipitate a try.</p>
<p><!--start_image_pn3--><a name="image_pn3"></a><a href="http://www.tidbits.com/resources/2008-07/Precipitate-search.png"><img src="http://www.tidbits.com/resources/2008-07/Precipitate-search.png" width="376" height="539" border="0" /></a><BR /><!--end_image_pn3--> </p>
<p>Future updates of Precipitate will likely support multiple Google accounts and some sort of automatic update functionality (so in the meantime, you&#8217;ll need to check for updates manually at the Precipitate page). It&#8217;s a 904K download and works in Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard; I haven&#8217;t yet confirmed Tiger compatibility.</p>
