TidBITS#1066/07-Mar-2011
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1066>


  This week’s news revolves around the just-announced iPad 2, iOS 4.3,
  and new iMovie and GarageBand iOS apps. We have full coverage,
  complete with Jeff Carlson’s hands-on impressions of the iPad 2 from
  his time at Apple’s media event. Also this week, contributor Kirk
  McElhearn reveals a few hidden details in the just-released iTunes
  10.2, Adam offers practical advice on Apple’s upcoming forced upgrade
  to the new MobileMe Calendar, and Glenn Fleishman can’t resist
  answering the question of whether Thunderbolt could maybe, possibly,
  conceivably drive two external monitors on a new MacBook Pro. Finally,
  anyone considering Windows virtualization should check out Joe
  Kissell’s “Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac, Fifth Edition.”
  Notable software releases this week include Firefox 3.6.15, SpamSieve
  2.8.5, BusyCal 1.5.2, Dragon Dictate 2.0.3, and Airfoil 4.0.2.
