Dan Wood has released a new version of his innovative Mac OS X utility, Watson 1.02. Just as Apple’s Sherlock lets users easily search the Internet from the desktop, Watson lets users access a wealth of Internet services—such as stock quotes, telephone numbers, recipe indexes and movie listings—from an intuitive Aqua interface. Version 1.02 adds support for 800×600 iBook and iMac screens, more “respect” to the Dock, authenticated HTTP proxy support, improved support for international character sets, and improvements to several tools. Watson is US$29 shareware.
