Travis Butler returns with a look at three third-party AC adapters for Apple's laptop computers, and Geoff Duncan tunes into ICANN's long-running Internet soap opera. Adam passes on news and tips about some new Retrospect 6.1 updates, and we also note the third-generation Squeezebox and SlimServer 6.2 software, OmniWeb 5.1.2, a slew of pro video software updates from Apple, and of course, the iTunes Music Store opening in Australia.
