Once you’ve checked out the big Take Control sale this week, we have oodles of other articles for you. Glenn Fleishman was busy, explaining why it’s unlikely that we’ll see another U.S. iPhone carrier any time soon, testing the new push notification-capable AIM for iPhone, and covering the new Adobe BrowserLab service for comparing how Web pages render in different browsers. Not to be left out, Jeff Carlson reviews four programs for recovering accidentally deleted photos from a memory card, and Matt Neuburg explains the best way to format a new hard disk. Notable software releases this week include Tinderbox 4.7.0, Airfoil 3.3.1, Apple TV 2.4, Missing Sync for iPhone 2.0.2, Time Capsule and AirPort Base Station Firmware Update 7.4.2, Final Cut Pro 6.0.6, Camino 1.6.8, BBEdit 9.2.1 and the MacBook Pro EFI Firmware Update 1.7.

The printed instructions for how to reformat a new disk are usually wrong; here's the right way.
Adobe BrowserLab lets you see how major browsers will display - or mangle - your Web pages. That's not a new idea, but Adobe has created the most elegant and quickest method so far, and the company has just gotten started.
Jeff Carlson realized too late that he hadn't transferred some photos from a memory card before erasing it, but the images weren't lost. Four programs can bring pictures back from the digital dead.

The TidBITS Talk community takes a bit of a breather this week, starting only a few new topics (perhaps because they're all absorbed with new iPhones?).
