TidBITS#898/01-Oct-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/898>

  Apple released the first significant update to the iPhone's software
  last week, adding features such as the iTunes Wi-Fi Music Store and
  welcome shortcuts. But the iPhone 1.1.1 update was more notable for
  breaking third-party iPhone applications and "bricking" (rendering
  inoperable) phones hacked to work with SIM cards from cellular
  carriers other than AT&T. We run down the changes and debate Apple's
  approach in a staff roundtable. Apple also released important
  updates for iLife '08 and iWork '08, new firmware for Macs with
  Intel Core 2 Duo processors, and an update for recent portables that
  re-enables journaling of the hard disk. We also note pricing and
  availability of the upcoming Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac. If that
  wasn't enough, Adam compares the new Amazon MP3 music store to
  Apple's iTunes Store, Glenn passes on news of cheap iPod touch Wi-Fi
  in the UK, and Joe strolls through Apple Expo in Paris, France.
  Lastly, we note the updates of our best-selling "Take Control of Mac
  OS X Backups" and (so you have plenty of time to plan) "Take Control
  of Thanksgiving Dinner"!
