Fixed a bug introduced in 2.4.22 that prevented the bookmark list from appearing.
This release adds a cool new feature. Now you can decide where a link will open on-the-fly by pressing one of five user-configurable keys before you click the link, temporarily overriding your tab positioning settings for that click.
Need clarification? Say you’ve set LinkThing to open each link in a new tab to the right of the current tab. Now, suppose you’d like to temporarily change this and have the next link you click open to the left of the current tab instead. You can now do so by pressing the S key (by default) before clicking the link.
Important: You have to press the override key while the mouse is over the link you’re going to click. If you move the mouse away from that link after pressing the key, and then click it, your settings will not be overridden.
As a bonus feature, you can also set LinkThing to open a link straight away when you press one of the target override keys while the mouse is over it. That does away with the need to click the link.

This release adds a checkbox to the Add Bookmark dialog that specifies whether the bookmark is to be shared (made public). The setting only applies to Pinboard and Delicious bookmarks and is hidden if you aren’t saving bookmarks to either of those services.

Printing from Safari Reader now respects some CustomReader settings. The effective settings are the body and heading fonts, text alignment, and paragraph indentation/spacing. Other settings continue to have no effect when printing.

The settings “New Tab Position” and “New Background Tab Position” now only have effect when you open a tab using Tabkeys. These settings were interfering with a new, as yet unreleased feature of LinkThing that lets you decide the position of a new tab (opened from a link) on the fly.
Minor enhancement: If you Shift-click an item in the popover, it will open in a background tab, and the popover will remain open. As a result, you can now open several chosen items without having to open the popover for each one.

Fixed a bug that prevented Cmd-Option-clicking a link from opening a new window.
I think they’re quite good. Not only are they better in every way than Apple’s previous pack-in earbuds, I’d even say they sound better than low-end IEMs like my Klipsch Image S4i and my Sony DREX61IP. I’m no kind of audiophile, so I won’t try to qualify or quantify that opinion except to say that the bass is surprisingly good and the treble/midrange has a nice, open, airy quality that I prefer to the closed sound of IEMs.
The EarPods are definitely more comfortable than any IEM or other earbud I’ve tried. Apple seems to have succeeded in designing them to fit many different ear sizes and shapes. My wife, my 11-year-old son, and I all like how they fit.
At $30, the EarPods are among the cheapest brand-name headphones with inline iPhone/iPod controls you can buy. Some reviewers are saying you can get better sound quality with any other $30 headphones. I highly doubt that’s true if you compare the EarPods to other $30 headphones that have the inline controls. You may have to spend at least twice as much to get similarly-featured headphones that sound better.
I recommend them.
