Although we're partial to 1Password, the best Mac password manager is the one you already own and use. If that happens to be LastPass, you just got an awesome 2.0 upgrade on Monday that adds "significant improvements" to both the front end software as well as the servers running it behind the scenes. The software now supports attachments for documents and images, free credit monitoring alerts for U.S. residents, a more unified user experience and faster startup time -- and who's going to argue with all of that awesomeness? To read all about the update, head over to the LastPass blog and get your update on.
Gameloft Teases Amazing Spider-Man for Mobile10 days doesn't sound like too long to wait for something awesome, but if you click the embedded YouTube video below and happen to be a fan of Spider-Man, that wait just got a whole lot longer. Gameloft will be releasing The Amazing Spider-Man for iPhone, iPad and Android on June 28, and the company today posted a pretty sweet look at what it will look like, complete with a prologue offering up some background on how Peter Parker came to fill the red and blue suit. Warning: Extreme disappointment will follow after watching this awesome video, but only because you can't buy it right now. Sigh...
Report: OS X 10.7.5 Pre-Release Beta in Limited Circulation
There's nothing for developers to download just yet, but AppleInsider is reporting that Apple has started external testing on OS X Lion 10.7.5, which could presumably be the last (or at least next to the last) version of the king of the jungle now that OS X Mountain Lion is coming down off the hill next month. There's no word on exactly what changes the update includes, but it's a good bet that MobileMe support -- including the preference pane and iDisk access -- will get wiped off the map once it's installed, given that the service is sunsetting at the end of June. Does that mean we'll see 10.7.5 before month's end? Not necessarily, but it shouldn't be too long now, we'd say.
Facebook Acquires KLIK Developer Face.comFace.com announced today that the company has been acquired by Facebook, which kind of makes sense considering the two companies share four letters. (Just kidding.) The Face.com folks sound pretty stoked about being absorbed by the House that Zuck Built, and promise that mobile is a big part of the acquisition. "We love building products, and like our friends at Facebook, we think that mobile is a critical part of people’s lives as they both create and consume content, and share content with their social graph," explains the creators of the KLIK for iOS app. "By working with Facebook directly, and joining their team, we’ll have more opportunities to build amazing products that will be employed by consumers -- that’s all we’ve ever wanted to do." Sounds like a match made in heaven to us.
Sparrow for iPhone Adds POP Email SupportThe gang over at Sparrow sent out a brief tweet this morning announcing version 1.3 of their Sparrow for iPhone app is now available. Although the release notes are perhaps the briefest ever, the update adds one feature fans have been clamoring for, and that's support for POP email accounts. We're not quite sure who's still longing for POP email in this day and age, but always good to see that a developer delivers what the users want. The 1.3 update also squashes a bug related to folder mapping just ahead of the company's plans for an iPad edition of Sparrow they've been teasing recently. Sparrow for iPhone 1.3 is $2.99 from the App Store and a free update for existing users; the app is compatible with all devices running iOS 5.0 or later.
