More 1Password Icon Pilfering

It has been interesting to watch the 1Password icon popup in the strangest places on the Internet. So far 1Password has not been as "privileged" to have its icon ripped off as many times as Panic's Transmit has been, but we might catch up as people are finding creative ways to (illegally) use the 1Password icon.

Dave Batton from Mere Mortal Software dropped me a note showing that 1Password's icon is being used on Erico Motorsports website as an icon for their Scooters (I'm purposely not linking as they don't deserve the extra Google juice).

Mac Users Are the Best!

I am continually amazed at how great the Mac user community is. Look at this wonderful 'Belated Birthday' ecard I received today:

Great stuff!

Best of all, emails like this make me want to work even harder creating the best darn products we can! Expect some new updates soon :)

Thank you for the encouragement everyone!

1Password 2.6.5 Released

1Password 2.6.5 is now available! Changes in this version include improved support for Firefox 3 and newly added support for the Safari 4 Developer Preview, DEVONagent 2.3.1, OmniWeb Sneaky Peeks, and the Beta of Flock 2. Also in this release are several stability improvements. This update is free to all paid 1Password customers.

Below are the highlights of this new version, and at the very bottom you can find the detailed Release Notes.

As always, you can grab the latest version from the downloads page, but the fastest and smoothest way to upgrade is to use the built in updater. Simply select 1Password > Check for Updates... and follow the instructions.

New 1Password DMG, Including Custom Applications Icon!

Dan has been going through the various parts of 1Password and freshening up the design of each element as he makes his way around. The Disk Image icon and background were in getting a little 'long in the tooth' and thankfully Dan had some ideas (and the skill!) to fix them.

The Disk Icon of the 1Password.dmg file is now much nicer; it it shown above in the top-left of this post. Not only does it look better than our current one, Dan added many more sizes so it scales up nicely in Finder. The old one scaled so bad in Finder I did not even want to include a screenshot.

As for the Disk Image image itself, there are many wonderful existing DMG designs for motivation, but we of course wanted something unique.

WWDC 08

Roustem, Chad and I had a blast at Apple's Developer Conference last week in San Francisco. It was actually the first time we met Chad in person, even though we have been working together for over a year now. We all enjoyed a lot of good food, beer, and parties, and even managed to attend a few of the sessions.

We were all too busy having fun to get our cameras out, but thankfully Jose Vazquez took a few for us.
