TidBITS#877/30-Apr-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/877>

  Apple reported another strong financial quarter last week, with a
  net profit of $770 million. At the same time, the company's stock
  option backdating scandal advanced as the SEC brought charges
  against two former Apple employees (neither of whom is named Steve
  Jobs). Also this week, Web design is on our minds due to the
  releases of MacRabbit's CSSEdit 2.5 and Panic's Coda, which Joe
  Kissell runs through its paces. Joe also notes public betas for two
  online backup services, a new initiative from Parallels, and the
  first Mac beta version of yet another virtualization environment. In
  other news, Apple releases Battery Update 1.2 for MacBooks and
  MacBook Pros, and Rogue Amoeba updates its Fission audio
  manipulation tool.
