There’s huge news in the TidBITS universe today: Adam and Tonya have sold Take Control Books to Joe Kissell in order to focus more on TidBITS, the TidBITS Content Network, and new projects. Don’t worry, Adam and Tonya will still be involved with Take Control, and no one is more qualified to captain the Take Control ship than Joe. In other news, Julio Ojeda-Zapata reviews Apple’s Clips, a new social-focused video creation app for iOS, and Josh Centers suggests three reasons why you should give the Opera Web browser a look.

Notable software releases this week include Tweetbot 2.5, 1Password 6.7.1, ChronoSync 4.7.6 and ChronoAgent 1.6.2, Typinator 7.2, and Pages 6.1.1, Numbers 4.1.1, and Keynote 7.1.1 for Mac.
