TidBITS#926/28-Apr-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/926>

  Apple made more than a billion dollars in profit during the last
  financial quarter, but is that all? Due to the way the company books
  iPhone revenue, much of the device's earnings are still to come - we
  have the numbers and the details. Also in this issue, Glenn looks at
  Microsoft's new Live Mesh service and what it portends for the
  future of storing data, and notes that even after all these years a
  large number of Web sites are still built by hand-coding the HTML.
  Rich Mogull explains how the latest QuickTime improvements are just
  the first steps in locking down a potentially bad security
  situation, Mark Anbinder covers the latest iMac speed bump, and
  Charles Maurer returns with strategies and tools for the difficult
  tasks of cataloging and storing digital photos. In other TidBITS
  Publishing-related news, Ted Landau's iPhone title has just been
  updated with the latest info about the iPhone 1.1.4 software, and
  our DealBITS drawing this week features the HoudahGeo photo
  geocoding software. Lastly, the TidBITS Watchlist this week
  spotlights updates to Boot Camp, VMware Fusion, TextExpander,
  Default Folder X, ScreenFlow, MacBook Pro Firmware, Apple's Firmware
  Restoration CD, and Keyboard Maestro.
