  Security news leads off this issue, with Apple's release of Security
  Update 2007-002 to address more of the Month of Apple Bugs (MoAB)
  exploits, Glenn Fleishman's thoughts about what the MoAB actually
  accomplished, and Joe Kissell's look at the Microsoft Office 2004
  11.3.4 update. In other topics, Andrew Laurence examines Apple's
  Daylight Saving Time updates to both Tiger and Panther, Jeff Carlson
  relays the details of the Final Cut Pro 5.1.3 update, and Adam looks
  at the now-open Google Gmail and explains how to create permanent
  links to articles in the New York Times. Also this week, a
  single-question interview with prominent Macintosh developers about
  the most important Apple technologies!
