  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/899>

  October is here, and Mac users are scoping out the landscape for the
  arrival of Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Adam looks at past releases to
  come up with an appearance date for the next big cat. What else is
  cooking this week? Andy Affleck takes 10 recipe management programs
  into the kitchen - which program will reign supreme? Also, Adam
  reviews Rogue Amoeba's Radioshift, which simplifies the task of
  recording radio shows from Internet radio streams; Joe takes a quick
  look at the latest virtualization updates from Parallels and VMware;
  Apple releases Battery Update 1.3 for 15-inch MacBook Pro models;
  and we note the release of three Take Control ebooks covering all
  you need to know about wireless network security, wireless
  networking with Apple's 802.11n-capable AirPort Extreme base
  stations, and the latest iPods.
