========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1045>

  Practicality reigns in this issue, with an article from Sharon
  Zardetto about how to use Keyboard Viewer to access special
  characters and Matt Neuburg's review of Fake, a Web browser that can
  be used in an Automator-like fashion to automate actions on a Web
  page. Also, Adam examines EPUBReader, a Firefox add-on that makes it
  easy to take a quick look at an EPUB file, and Glenn Fleishman
  shares details about a pair of iPad apps that take RSS feed reading
  to a new graphical level. Finally, we have a new Take Control ebook
  for you: Kirk McElhearn's "Take Control of iTunes 10: The FAQ."
  Notable software releases this week include Dialectic 1.7, Transmit
  4.1.1, MarsEdit 3.1, Savescreenie 2.0, and 1Password 3.4.1.
