TidBITS#893/20-Aug-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/893>

  The MacHack conference may be history, but its spirit lives on in
  C4, an event for indie Mac programmers. Adam reports on the
  proceedings (where he was also a speaker) and discovers some gems
  such as Lights Off, a native game for the iPhone, and the
  software-updating framework Sparkle. Elsewhere in this issue, Glenn
  Fleishman notes improvements to the AirPort admin utility, Jorg
  Brown looks at the preposterous international data-roaming charges
  that some iPhone users are being asked to pay, Matt Neuburg adds
  some audible cues to his keys with Keyclick, and Joe Kissell updates
  his coverage of the Safe Sleep feature of current Apple laptops.
