TidBITS#1056/13-Dec-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1056>


  It’s our final TidBITS issue for 2010, and we have a great selection
  of articles, including Joe Kissell’s coverage of changes in CrashPlan+
  3.0 and his review of the DEVONthink To Go app. Glenn Fleishman
  explains what makes a good iOS app in general, a topic he spent much
  time considering while selecting apps for his “Five-Star Apps” print
  book. And Adam shares both a fun video of a group playing Christmas
  carols on iOS devices and a cautionary story about why keeping a clone
  of your hard disk mounted at all times can be dangerous. Don’t
  forget—all Take Control ebooks are 50 percent off through the end of
  the year! Notable software releases this week include Switcher Maestro
  1.0, Simon 3.0.1, Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac 12.2.8 Update, Postbox
  2.1, MacBook Air EFI Firmware Update 2.0, Aperture 3.1.1, Mactracker
  5.3, Photoshop CS5 12.0.2, Skitch 1.0.1, Photoshop Lightroom 3.3,
  KeyCue 5.2, and RapidWeaver 5.0.1. See you in 2011!
