TidBITS#859/11-Dec-06
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/859>

  While most of us were taking a break over the Thanksgiving vacation
  in the United States, Adam and Tonya caught up on their reading and
  videos. Adam looks at a DVD of Apple's early days in "In Search of
  the Valley," while Tonya takes a trip with Suzanne Stefanac's
  "Dispatches from Blogistan." Also in this issue, Glenn Fleishman
  muses on the presence of 802.11n wireless networking hardware in
  some current Macs, Adam both examines a privacy issue with the
  Nike+iPod Sport Kit and reviews the RollerMouse Pro, and we note the
  release of DiskWarrior 4.
