TidBITS#1010/18-Jan-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1010>

  We didn't have anything to add to the news of Google deciding not to
  censor search results in China last week, but practical aspects of
  using Google do feature in this week's issue, thanks to the
  announcements that Gmail now defaults to encrypted sessions and
  Google Docs will be adding the capability to store any file type.
  Glenn Fleishman also passes on the news of Citrix shipping a version
  of the GoToMyPC remote control software for the Mac, we announce the
  release of "Take Control of Running Windows on a Mac, Fourth
  Edition," and Adam both shares the news of Apple's upcoming media
  event (Tablet? What tablet?) and unravels the mystery of why
  connecting an iPod touch to a Mac would launch iPhoto. Doug McLean
  runs down how the technology world is helping the relief efforts
  following Haiti's devastating earthquake, and guest contributor
  Steve McCabe debuts in TidBITS with an enjoyable look at how
  unlimited Internet access isn't a basic right, especially in New
  Zealand. Notable software releases this week include Logic Pro 9.1,
  Main Stage 2.1, Radioshift 1.5.2, Apple Remote Desktop 3.3.2, and
  Typinator 3.7.
