TidBITS#1038/02-Aug-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1038>

  The big news this week is Apple's release of new models of the iMac
  and Mac Pro, a new 27-inch Cinema Display, the new Magic Trackpad,
  and the new Apple Battery Charger. Jeff Carlson and Doug McLean run
  down the details of all of these new devices for you. Doug also
  covers Safari 5.0.1 and the new Safari Extension Gallery; Jeff
  explains how a bad battery in a Magic Trackpad is cause for... well,
  not much; and Glenn Fleishman examines how the latest DMCA exemption
  ruling from the Librarian of Congress renders iPhone jailbreaking
  legal (but not easy). Most notably, Joe Kissell contributes a
  detailed review and comparison of a pair of portable document
  scanners: the ScanSnap S1300 and the Doxie. Finally, don't forget
  that the Take Control 50-percent-off sale ends Tuesday! Notable
  software releases this week include Snapz Pro X 2.2.3, Retrospect
  8.2, and BBEdit 9.5.1.
