A flaw in the recently released Apple TV 3.0 software can make all your available content appear to be missing until you re-sync to iTunes. Apple strongly recommend updating to 3.0.1 to fix this problem.

Fortune Magazine has named Steve Jobs CEO of the Decade. Why Jobs? Fortune says in the past 10 years he has, "radically and lucratively reordered three markets - music, movies, and mobile telephones - and his impact on his original industry, computing, has only grown."

If you're an iPhone user who regularly ships or receives packages via UPS, download the free UPS Mobile app for the iPhone and iPod touch. It lets you track shipments, create shipping labels, find nearby UPS locations, and estimate shipping costs for different services.

A beta service called Notescasts.com promises to provide users of the iPod classic, iPod nano, and 5th generation iPod with an online store for downloading free and inexpensive ebooks. It's a gutsy move, given all the attention devoted to the iPhone and iPod touch and the App Store, but will enough users of the supported iPod models notice?

Jim Rea of ProVUE Development has started producing short video training seminars for the company's Panorama 5.5 database program (which we use for Take Control order tracking and royalty databases). If you're a Panorama user, watch the first video about Live Clairvoyance (ignore the Windows interface elements, since the feature works identically on the Mac). Panorama has a ton of capabilities that most users never find; hopefully Jim's videos will expose more of them.

Adobe is now shipping Photoshop Elements 8, notable in part because the company skipped version 7 for the Mac last year. On this episode of MacVoices, Jeff Carlson talks to Chuck Joiner about what the newest Photoshop Elements offers Mac users and then discusses his current project, a book about Canon's PowerShot G10 and G11 cameras.

The group responsible for Internet names and numbers, ICANN, has at long last issued the go-ahead for a limited number of top-level domains (TLDs) written in non-Latin characters. These new TLDs will start appearing in mid-2010. TLDs, which include generics like .com and country codes like .cn, have long been limited to A-Z, 0-9, and the dash. Second-level domains (the part before the . and the TLD) can be registered in many TLDs using non-Latin characters already.

Computerworld's John Brandon looks at the sensor technology that enables the iPhone to perform some of its more amazing tricks. It's not magic, but it is sufficiently advanced to seem like it at times.

For Halloween, Macworld served up an Apple-themed pumpkin carving contest. Attempts from Macworld's editors are currently on view for inspiration. So check them out, visit your local pumpkin emporium, and get to work on your Apple-inspired jack-o'-lantern!

After interviewing Adam and Tonya earlier in the week on the milestone of 1,000 TidBITS issues, MacNotables and MacVoices host Chuck Joiner invited a panel of TidBITS staffers to discuss what 1,000 issues looks like from their perspective. The conversation covers the birth of TidBITS, how everyone got their start working for it, the group's approach to journalism, and where TidBITS stands today. And no, Adam and Tonya had no clue it was happening until after the fact!

Ars Technica writes up the end of the potential for Sun's ZFS filesystem to make it into Mac OS X; a licensing dispute appears to be at the heart. ZFS is far more flexible than any other filesystem in wide-scale use, something like RAID with less management and more choices. With ZFS out of the running, Apple will find another alternative, Ars writes.

In this two-part MacNotables podcast with host Chuck Joiner, Adam and Tonya pull out story after story of the early days of TidBITS, how TidBITS has managed to survive through some tough times, and lots more. Many of these stories have never before appeared in TidBITS itself, and we hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane with us.

Dan Moren has an amusing piece in the MacUser blog discussing Apple's support article explaining the difference between "disk" and "disc." We haven't seen Apple Support weigh in on such matters of copy editing importance before, and Dan has big fun exploring the topic.

Continuing to make the rounds, Adam talks with Tech Night Owl Live host Gene Steinberg about where TidBITS came from and what sets it apart from other publications. Also discussed were the issue of backing up cloud-based data, and how the Barnes & Noble Nook could compete with Apple's much-rumored tablet.

Apple will add support in Snow Leopard for booting into Windows 7 via Boot Camp by year's end, says this support note. Most 2006 Intel-based Macs won't work with Windows 7, however. Parallels 4 already includes the capability to run Windows 7 virtual machines in 32-bit mode; VMware will release Fusion 3 on 27 October 2009 with 32-bit and 64-bit Windows 7 support.
