TidBITS#921/31-Mar-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/921>

  Curses! Mac OS X is the first victim in the Pwn2Own hacking contest,
  and Rich Mogull explains how a security researcher took home $10,000
  and a MacBook Air for exploiting a previously unknown vulnerability
  in Safari within 2 minutes. Taking the sting from that insult is
  Apple's top ranking in a survey of global brands. Also this week,
  Tonya shares her first impressions of Amazon's Kindle ebook reader,
  and Adam explains in detail how he more than doubled the throughput
  on his network by updating to gigabit Ethernet, providing the
  details necessary for you to do the same. New releases that warrant
  detailed looks this week include Carbon Copy Cloner 3.1, the new
  Outspring Mail email client, Aperture 2.1, and the online photo
  editor Photoshop Express. The TidBITS Watchlist offers brief
  coverage of SOHO Organizer 7.0, SOHO Notes 7.0, MailTags 2.2,
  Moneydance 2008, Freeway 5, and a variety of highly specific (but
  potentially essential) updates from Apple.
