TidBITS#869/05-Mar-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/869>

  Does your mouse not behave as you'd expect? It's probably not the
  mouse itself, but Mac OS X's acceleration curve, which Apple changed
  from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X - Parrish Knight explains what's going on
  and how to retrain your mouse to track your movements more
  appropriately. Also this week, Adam shares some surprising findings
  about Internet surveys and looks at Picnik, a Web site that provides
  most of iPhoto's image-editing features; Glen McAllister finds local
  music performances using iConcertCal; and Glenn Fleishman celebrates
  the expunging of the court case against security researcher Randal
  Schwartz. We also note the release of Parallels Desktop Build 3186
  (essentially, version 2.0), a security update for QuickTime, the
  availability of Macworld Expo session videos and audio files, and a
  new estimate of the number of Mac OS X users (22 million!).
