Watson 1.5.5 Adds Google, Amazon Plug-ins

Watson 1.5.5 Adds Google, Amazon Plug-ins — Karelia Software has released Watson 1.5.5, its utility for easily gathering information from the Web that offers more features than Apple’s otherwise-similar Sherlock 3. New in this version is the capability to perform Internet searches using Google, along with a module that helps you find and purchase products from Amazon.com. The ZIP Code lookup utility has also been improved, and Watson is now fully compatible with Mac OS X 10.2 Jaguar. It’s often easier to use Watson instead of a Web browser to look up information such as movie times, flight schedules, eBay auctions, and more. Watson 1.5.5 is a free update to owners of Watson 1.5 and later, and is available as a 2 MB download. An individual license to use Watson beyond its two-week demo period costs $30; a "household" license costs $40. [JLC]
