TidBITS#812/16-Jan-06
=====================

  Macworld Expo is one of the biggest Apple events of the year,
  and last week's show didn't disappoint. Apple introduced the
  Intel-based iMac and MacBook Pro laptop much earlier than
  expected, along with iLife '06 and iWork '06; we've got details
  from the show floor, plus Adam's take on Apple's newfound
  confidence. Also in this issue, we note the releases of
  Mac OS X 10.4.4, iTunes 6.0.2, QuickTime 7.0.4, Skype 1.4,
  and the intriguing public beta of Adobe Lightroom. Lastly,
  we note new availability of Final Cut Studio, and launch into
  this year's Macworld Expo SF 2006 Superlatives, where we reveal
  the best, worst, and most interesting aspects of the show.
