TidBITS#927/05-May-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/927>

  This week brings an eclectic set of news and reviews, starting off
  with Microsoft not purchasing Yahoo for $50 billion and running all
  the way through Joe Kissell's review of the Nabaztag Internet
  Rabbit. In the middle Joe also covers the release of the MozyHome
  online backup service, Jeff Carlson looks at movie purchases on the
  Apple TV, and Glenn Fleishman examines AT&T's new iPhone plan for
  the hearing and speech impaired. Glenn also reflects on the
  outpouring of support for handcrafted HTML and reports on
  Microsoft's ending of support for its PlaysForSure DRM, and Matt
  Neuburg contributes a glowing review of Vara Software's new
  ScreenFlow screencasting software. In the TidBITS Watchlist, we look
  briefly at updates to TextExpander, DiscLabel, Microsoft Messenger
  for Mac, Tinderbox, MacPilot, Infovox iVox, Synchronize Pro X,
  1Password, the iMac ATI Radeon HD firmware, and Java for Mac OS X.
