========================
   Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1040>

   iOS security reigns in this issue, with Glenn Fleishman covering
   Apple's security-related iOS updates, describing how using encrypted
   iOS backups actually reduces security slightly, and explaining how
   to update a changed Wi-Fi network password in an iOS device. Beyond
   that, security editor Rich Mogull runs down the security challenges
   that Apple faces with iOS and the advantages that the company
   enjoys. For a change of pace, Lex Friedman looks at some essential
   Safari Extensions, we announce the release of Sharon Zardetto's
   authoritative "Take Control of Fonts in Snow Leopard" ebook, and
   Adam describes how we've moved some legacy services. Notable
   software releases this week include VMware Fusion 3.1.1, Things
   1.3.5, and Office 2004/2008 Security Updates.
