TidBITS#863/22-Jan-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/863>

  Our Macworld Expo coverage ran long this year, so we continue it
  this week by looking at the trade show through the eyes of a newly
  minted 8-year-old, explain the logic behind Apple shaking down
  Intel-based Mac owners for two bucks for a Wi-Fi update, and ask the
  iPhone some very personal questions, a few of which it refuses to
  answer. We also pass on the cream of the crop - our Macworld Expo
  superlatives - and share ways to get Take Control ebooks for free or
  half-off. Oh, yeah, and Apple made a billion dollars in profit last
  quarter.
