TidBITS#801/17-Oct-05
=====================

  Last week brought an abundance of announcements, including Apple's
  record financial results and release of a video-enabled iPod, a
  new iMac with an iSight camera built-in, and iTunes 6 with TV
  shows for sale in the iTMS. Not entirely overshadowed was Palm's
  release of a pair of Palm handhelds, the Z22 and TX. Microsoft was
  also busy, settling a lawsuit with RealNetworks and announcing
  plans to make its instant messaging network interoperable with
  Yahoo's. Last, though not least, James Thomson shipped the slick
  calculator utility PCalc 3, and we published "Take Control of
  Permissions in Mac OS X."
