The iWeb '09 edition of the book is also underway and will be a free update for anyone buying the '08 edition in 2009.

Michael Tsai, the Macintosh developer behind such utilities as SpamSieve and DropDMG, discusses on his blog his problems in getting a Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter to work properly with his 15-inch MacBook Pro. According to Tsai, the $99 adapter, released back in December 2008, creates various screen distortions and Apple, while acknowledging the issue, has yet to provide a solution.

A number of users recently received notice from Google that some of their Google Documents had been accidentally shared with collaborators who had previously lacked access. The security glitch, apparently affecting .05 percent of all Google Docs, underscores the concerns some have with cloud-based computing, though others have noted that documents stored on stolen laptops have also been implicated in significant security and privacy breaches.

Making his maiden voyage into the world of Internet radio, Doug McLean spoke with Gene Steinberg of the Tech Night Owl Live (in the second third of the 05-Mar-09 show) about the refreshed iMac line, the recently updated Safari browser, and what his Apple dream machine would look like.

It's the situation all freelancers dread: a troubled economy, a lack of health insurance, and impending medical costs. That has led graphic designer and long-time TidBITS reader Blair Saldanah to part with one of the largest collections of Apple memorabilia we've ever seen. He has items from the very beginning of Macintosh history, so if you collect Apple t-shirts, posters, keychains, brochures, disks, or hardware, now's a good chance to add to your collection and help out a fellow Mac user. Prices are negotiable.

Will Apple allow independent App Store knock-offs that provide apps Apple won't allow (perhaps only on jailbroken iPhones)? We'll see soon enough, as the wraps are about to come off the Cydia Store. Adam comments on the possibility that an independent store could provide a better experience for developers.

Although raw processing performance is by no means the main criterion when it comes to choosing a virtualization product for running Windows on a Mac, it does have a role. MacTech has now completed their latest tests of Parallels Desktop 4 and VMware Fusion 2.

Glenn talks about the Kindle 2 and Amazon's new Kindle for iPhone application, how easy it is to read on either device, and what makes a book "booky" on Your Mac Life. Also, Peter Cohen, Lesa King, and Mark Gollin.

Amazon.com's Video on Demand service, which offers a catalog of over 40,000 movies and TV shows for rental or purchase, is now accessible via the $99 Roku Digital Video Player. The partnership, announced in January 2009 and officially cemented on Tuesday, extends the Roku Digital Video Player's capabilities beyond Netflix's Watch Instantly feature.

This MacJury podcast looks at whether authors are justified in trying to establish a separate right for books to be read aloud using text-to-speech technology, specifically in the Amazon Kindle 2. Chuck Joiner hosts a conversation with Bryan Chaffin, Peter Cohen, Glenn Fleishman, Ted Landau, and Keith Lang.

Macworld offers Glenn's deeper look at some of the new features found in the AirPort Extreme and Time Capsule hardware update, and how you can make use of them.

Macworld's Chris Breen spent the weekend crunching pixels to come up with a way to export deinterlaced 720p video from iMovie '09, a process that seems strangely difficult (and made more difficult by an unresolved bug in the way iMovie handles interlaced video).

The beta of Safari 4 offers some notable changes to how tabs work, and while some of those changes are useful, others have provoked criticism. Macworld's Dan Frakes runs down the good, the bad, and the ugly.

We thought running the classic Atari game Adventure on an iPhone was the epitome of retro geekiness, but a fully functional version of System 7 on an iPhone? Wow! It's not available yet, but it's worth checking out for the screenshots alone.

None of this stuff is earth-shattering, but Apple has improved MobileMe's performance in various areas, fixed some user interface annoyances, and made other small improvements.
