Adam feels your frustration and adds some of his own. He also looks at TypeTester, a slick Web application for choosing typefaces. Matt Neuburg returns from an AppleScript-induced hiatus to tell us about his new AppleScript book (and other AppleScript-related projects) and to review OmniGraffle 4, a powerful diagramming tool from The Omni Group. In the news, Apple lowers prices on the iPod shuffle and introduces a new iPod nano, and we release "Take Control of .Mac" 1.1 to cover .Mac's new features and iLife '06.
