Any good recommendations for password vaults for OS X and Windows? I just realised that I'm only running one on my phone, which is silly.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
What's missing from the built-in keychain app?
The app I have on my phone gets a lot more granular than the OS X keychain app with a number of different templates like credit cards and serial numbers and email address/password combinations.
I could fake that all using notes et al, but if there are worthy competitors out there I'd like to hear about them.
I don't use it, but I hear 1Password getting mentioned a lot.
Thanks! It doesn't have to integrate with a web browser, by the way. For some reason I'm unremittingly old school with that--cookies or retyping.
FWIW I really like 1password. It works really well. I am not sure if it works on windows.
If you're thinking of buying a cheap, high-def video recorder, you might want to wait a bit....
Kodak Zi8 tinycam shoots image-stabilized 1080p
Kodak waited for all the cheap tinycams to take their best shot, and now it's swooped down with the Zi8, a 1080p pocket camcorder with face tracking and, get this, image stabilization. None of the other cheapo camcorders have such a thing. We're just wondering how well it can stabilize those shaky shots, especially at the low undercutting price of $180.
That bargain-basement price smacks down the $230 (and 720p) Flip Mino HD and Creative Vado HD (also 720p) in one shot. Like the others, it can upload directly to YouTube, but this one adds Facebook uploads to the mix, too, and lets you record everything onto an SD card. And look at that clean styling, available in three cool colors, and sporting a bigger-than-the-others 2.5-inch LCD screen on the top half and just one button sitting in the middle.
We'll have to wait until the Zi8 is available next month to see if Kodak also nailed the main weakness of such tinycams: the audio. But then, the Zi8's external audio jack gives us a hint, implying that if we don't like the onboard mic, we can supply high-quality one of our own. Nice.
Typical. Moonlit just went out and bought a bunch of the Flips for the kids (and staff) to use at school.
I ran my computer's configuration through the newegg power calculator now that I stuck in another hard drive.
I came up with 546 Watts. My computer is apparently a bit of a power hog. I've got a 650 Watt power supply so I'm covered, but if I upgrade the CPU like I would like to at some point (i.e. when it gets cheap) I get 630 Watts. I guess I'm glad I went with a power supply that seemed like overkill at the time.
I need some emergency iPod Touch help, is anyone available?
