TidBITS#830/22-May-06
=====================

  Is your iBook on its last legs? Apple completed its notebook line
  last week with the MacBook, a 13-inch widescreen laptop with an
  Intel Core Duo processor. Mark Anbinder and Jeff Carlson bring
  you their hands-on report. Also this week, Apple's lawyers stay
  busy fending off a lawsuit from Creative Technology over iPod
  patents (and countersue in return). Plus, Apple released Final
  Cut Express HD 3.5, speed-bumped the MacBook Pro, and we note
  both the release-candidate status of Parallels Desktop and two
  new Take Control ebooks that explain how fonts work - and don't
  work - in Mac OS X.
