Jeff Carlson also contributes a video of Glenn building and showing a presentation in the iPad's Keynote app. Plus, Steve McCabe returns with the story of solving a maddening color display problem that afflicted only some of his Macs, and we announce the release of "Take Control of Screen Sharing in Snow Leopard" and an update to "Take Control of Back to My Mac." Notable software releases this week include FontExplorer X Pro 2.5, Espresso 1.1.1, iPhone OS 3.1.3, iTunes 9.0.3, and 27-inch iMac Display Firmware Update 1.0.
