Type an em-dash on an iPhone

Typography and punctuation geeks rejoice! It's easy to type an em-dash on the iPhone's or iPod touch's virtual keyboard. To do so, tap the .?123 key to switch to the numeric keypad. Then touch and hold on the Hyphen key to reveal a pop-up strip showing an em-dash. Slide to the em-dash and release your finger.

Note that this basic trick works with many other keys on the virtual keyboard.

Apple Posts Lower-than-Expected Q3 Loss -- After the drama surrounding the departures of Gil Amelio and Ellen Hancock (see TidBITS-388), Apple's third fiscal quarter report came and went quietly. Apple reported a net loss of $56 million (44 cents per share), compared to last year's third quarter loss of $32 million (26 cents per share). $56 million is still a hefty chunk of money, but it fell conservatively amid speculations of a loss ranging from $70 million and $130 million.
