TidBITS#1084/11-Jul-2011
========================
  Issue link: <http://tidbits.com/issue/1084>


  As Mac OS X Lion’s sometime-in-July release date comes ever closer,
  we’re focused on upgrades and transitions. Glenn Fleishman leads off
  with a brief bit about Intuit’s email to Quicken users about Lion
  incompatibilities, Michael Cohen provides a way of determining roughly
  how long it will take to download Lion from the Mac App Store, Steve
  Sande offers some options for iWeb users who currently host their
  sites on MobileMe, and Adam editorializes about how Apple’s recent
  quality failures point toward needing a well-designed public beta
  program. Plus, Jeff Carlson looks at how iMovie ’11 can now import
  from iMovie for iOS. Finally, Jeff Porten contributes a final report
  from the Computers, Freedom, and Privacy 2011 conference. Notable
  software releases this week include Airfoil 4.5, GraphicConverter X
  7.3, KeyCue 5.3, Opera 11.50, Postbox 2.5, and EagleFiler 1.5.4.
