TidBITS#918/10-Mar-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/918>

  Last week's announcement of the iPhone software development kit may
  be one of the most significant events of the year - Adam and Glenn
  look at what Apple said and how software developers responded. The
  iPhone SDK is just the latest in a string of successes for Apple
  that catapulted the company to the top of Fortune Magazine's list of
  Most Admired Companies. One area that Apple has ignored, however, is
  the nascent ebook reader market, despite having the best platform in
  the iPod touch and the best online retail experience in the iTunes
  Store. In an open letter to Steve Jobs, Adam lays out the case for
  why Apple should enter this market. In the world of updates, we look
  at Aperture 2.0.1, which adds support for AppleScript, and "Take
  Control of Customizing Leopard" 1.1, which adds coverage of changes
  in the Mac OS X 10.5.2 update. Last, but by no means least, Rich
  Mogull takes a break from computer security to wire his house for
  audio using Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil and, well, no wires.
