TidBITS#868/26-Feb-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/868>

  This issue brings our first reader survey in years, along with much
  more. Updates from last week look at the removal and reposting of
  the Norwegian Early Help Desk video on YouTube, better ways of
  creating permanent URLs for New York Times articles, and a quick
  Final Cut Pro 5.1.4 update to fix problems introduced in 5.1.3. In
  other news, Apple and Cisco reach an agreement on the use of the
  iPhone name, Apple adds cellular data support to Mac OS X, the Your
  Mac Life radio show changes domains, and we pass on a tip for
  focused reading of PDFs in Preview. In DealBITS, we give away copies
  of Panergy's docXConverter, which converts Word 2007 files to RTF or
  text, and this week also reveals our final Month of Apple Sales
  offer for Take Control ebooks. Finally, Joe Kissell anchors the
  issue with a review of CrashPlan, an innovative new backup program
  with great promise.
