TidBITS#809/12-Dec-05
=====================

  Charles Maurer returns with a detailed discussion, informed by
  perception and painting, of how digital cameras can produce more
  naturalistic photos than film cameras. Mark Anbinder looks at the
  addition of NBC shows to the iTunes Music Store, Glenn Fleishman
  passes on news of new Wi-Fi driver options for Tiger users, and
  we examine updates to Firefox, Firefox's Flashblock extension,
  SETI@home, the Prograph programming language, and "Take Control
  of Mac OS X Backups."
