01 Another great year with you!
We've enjoyed bringing you more than 387 new content items
in the UGN library. Our 'updates' and 'collections' like Games,
iPad, iPhone, etc., represent nearly 2,000 news bursts with links.
It's been a busy year and we sincerely hope you have enjoyed
some benefits from the last 50 weeks of InfoManager.
Fred and I send our very best wishes for this holiday season --
and urge you to be safe, and remember others with generosity!
Here's to your health and prosperity in 2011...
we'll see you back here in the pages of Infomanager beginning in

02 A bit of Christmas history
George Engel writes :
Few and far between are the denizens of the industrialized
world who can escape the secular trappings of the Christmas
season, perhaps best exemplified by Santa Claus and his loyal
team of nine enchanted (or, at least, telekinetic) reindeer
... and here's the rest of the story!

03 Geek Holiday Songs
The holidays give us a chance to hear some of our favorite
old familiar songs, and this year, in the spirit of all things
tech, Jennifer L. Jacobson has taken a stab at a few classics,
in the hopes that throngs of joyous carolers will herd around,
outside big-box stores, and in the glens and doorways of towns
everywhere, to sing the tech-version of holiday standbys.
Enjoy.

06 DTP Upgrades from Zevrix

upgrades, even if it's just a minor upgrade. However, these
productivity solutions for Adobe Creative Suite software are
important programs for creative professionals.
So here are key new releases:

-------------------------------------------------------------------
07 SkyGroceries 1.0 for iPhone
SkyGroceries is a simple yet powerful grocery list application
for iPhone. It provides all the desired features for going grocery
shopping efficiently (large collection of products, autosuggest
search, multiple shopping lists, list sorting by aisle or
manually), but more important, it leaves out those
unnecessary features that clutter other
grocery list applications.

11 Printopia
As you know, Apple introduced AirPrint with iOS 4.2.1 last month.
Now printing is much easier than ever. However, only 11 or 12 current
printers are compatible with AirPrint per Apple. While HP has
announced that they will soon have another 10 printers that are
compatible, it doesn't help those of us who don't really want
to buy a new printer.

15 ePub Straight to the Point
George Engel takes a look at ePublishing in this two-part piece.
George writes:
"Why am I interested in ePub, and what the heck is it anyway?
As to the why, it s because I just paid $100.00 to have my book
the Naked Serviceman converted to an ePub and submitted to Apple
and Kindle for me. I already had my ISBN number so
I didn't need that done for me.

16 Terrorism? YouTube lets Users Decide
Brian Bennett, Tribune Washington Bureau for the L.A. Times writes:
YouTube is letting users decide on terrorism-related videos.
The company has been under fire from lawmakers for refusing to prescreen
militant speeches and propaganda videos.
Now users can mark such uploads for removal.

17 Quotes: Bob Dylan
May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
And, may you stay . . .
forever young!
Bob Dylan
