TidBITS#988/27-Jul-09
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/988>

  We have a veritable cornucopia of Apple-related articles this week,
  anchored by Matt Neuburg's exploration into a tricky font cache bug
  that can cause seemingly random text to be displayed. Doug McLean
  reports on a serious vulnerability in Adobe's Flash and looks at
  Apple's update to Logic Studio. Glenn Fleishman reviews the new
  Skype 2.8 for Mac, which includes a limited screen sharing
  capability and per-minute Wi-Fi access at numerous hotspots. And
  Jeff Carlson delves into Apple's record-setting Q3 profits. We're
  also pleased to announce a new version of Joe Kissell's "Take
  Control of MobileMe." Notable software releases this week include
  Final Cut Pro Studio Update, iPhoto2Twitter 1.5, and Sandvox 1.6.3.
