How about if you could bring the Mac’s Menubar to the mouse pointer, regardless of where the pointer is on the screen? No more reaching across the screen to the Menubar. The Menubar comes to you.

iTunes 10.5 introduces iCloud to the software along with automatic downloads. You can also download previous music, TV, app and book purchases again at no additional cost. Some previous purchases might not be available because they are no longer available through iTunes.

It also adds Wi-Fi syncing, which automatically syncs an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iTunes any time they're both on the same Wi-Fi network, one of the key features of iOS 5.

**** Say 'No' To Cartels <http://www.todayonline.com/Voices/EDC111011-0000130/Say-no-to-cartels>
Francis Zhan, Association Of Management Corporations, Today

While the Association of Management Corporations in Singapore appreciates HOME's work in protecting foreign workers, many of whom work in our members' condominiums, we cannot remain silent to distorted arguments.

Doing so would allow cartels to be formed, with a resultant increase in prices when inflation is already reaching new heights. We applaud the Competition Commission of Singapore's action just as it acted previously with the pest control industry.
