TidBITS#928/12-May-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/928>

  The Getting Things Done model of organizing one's life is popular,
  but software that attempts to encapsulate it has met with mixed
  success. Matt Neuburg finds that OmniFocus is the best such
  application he's tried so far, despite its quirks. Also this week,
  Jeff Porten writes about the ways digital rights management is
  causing technology to fail, and what that means for the future.
  Glenn notes the odd unavailability of iPhones at the online Apple
  Store, new iPhone carrier agreements, and AT&T's Wi-Fi service in
  Starbucks stores. Also, Adam looks briefly at CHDK, a utility for
  giving some Canon point-and-shoot cameras extra functionality, and
  Glenn highlights the recent incident where a woman's stolen laptop
  was recovered thanks to Back to My Mac. In this week's TidBITS
  Watchlist, we note the releases of Parallels Desktop Build 5600,
  MacGourmet 2.3, Comic Life Magiq 1.0, FoxTrot Professional Search
  2.0b3, Quay 1.1, Freeway 5.1, Fusion 2.0 Beta 1, CopyPaste Pro 1.0,
  Opal 1.2, Caboodle 1.1.4, and DocHaven 2.0.5.
