TidBITS#1037/26-Jul-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1037>

  Our big news this week is a 50-percent-off Take Control ebook sale
  to celebrate the unveiling of the new Take Control account
  management system. In between dealing with technical issues related
  to that launch, we found time to examine the noteworthy releases of
  Skype 2.0.1 and iBooks 1.1.2 for iOS. Also this week, Glenn
  Fleishman wrote about Apple donating the MacPaint and QuickDraw
  source code to the Computer History Museum, Chris Pepper contributed
  a warning about how using a Bluetooth keyboard with an iOS device
  can have unexpected results, and a punchy Jeff Carlson turned
  Apple's record-setting Q3 2010 financial results into a quiz. The
  issue is anchored by a pair of articles by Matt Neuburg and Adam,
  looking first at how iOS handles document mapping and how this
  causes headaches for people trying to serve Internet-based files to
  iOS device users. Finally, don't miss the DealBITS discount on PDF
  Shrink! Other notable software releases this week include 1Password
  3.3, Wiki Server Update 1.0, Firefox 3.6.8, and iTunes 9.2.1.
