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.

MacHeadlines 1.8 Splits into Pro and Lite -- Trexar Technologies has split MacHeadlines, its customizable scrolling ticker of Web site headlines (see "Trexar Releases MacHeadlines 1.7" in TidBITS-493), into two versions. MacHeadlines Pro 1.8 costs $20 shareware, improves the look of the floating ticker window, and enhances handling of numerous stock symbols. MacHeadlines Lite 1.8 is free and lacks only MacHeadlines Pro's site configuration and ticker appearance capabilities. Both programs are 430K downloads. [ACE]
