TidBITS#1014/15-Feb-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1014>

  Last week resolved a big unknown in the Mac community: Would
  Macworld Expo survive without Apple as an exhibitor? We were there
  and can confidently report that the show, while certainly different,
  was as vibrant as it has ever been. We identify the gems from the
  exhibitors who chose to appear, Tonya offers a peek at Microsoft
  Office 2011 for Mac, and Adam looks at the show in general,
  including a special discussion with Mac luminary Bill Atkinson about
  his new iPhone app and how the iPad actually predated the iPhone.
  Also in this issue, Glenn covers the hum around Google Buzz and
  speculates on a version of Hulu for the iPad and iPhone, and Doug
  McLean notes the release of Aperture 3. Lastly, notable software
  releases this week include Microsoft Office 2004 11.5.7, Google
  Chrome 5.0.307.7, VueScan 8.6.11, Digital Camera Raw Compatibility
  Update 3.0, 2009 Aluminum Keyboard Firmware Update 1.0, and Mac Pro
  Audio Update 1.0.
