TidBITS#813/23-Jan-06
=====================

  If it feels like your telephone company, cable company, cell
  phone provider, and ISP are all doing basically the same thing,
  you're right, and Glenn Fleishman explores the ever-increasing
  telecommunications convergence this week. Andrew Laurence
  finds his bliss in some solitary jazz played through the
  elegantly designed Sonos Digital Music System. And Apple
  announces record quarterly profits, 60 percent of which come
  from the iPod and other music-related efforts. In the news,
  Apple announces a Mac OS X Universal logo developers can use
  to identify universal binaries.
