TidBITS#887/09-Jul-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/887>

  Wireless networking is certainly convenient, but is there a faster
  way of pushing bits through the home without stringing Ethernet
  cable? Kevin van Haaren explores Powerline networking, which zips
  data through his house using the electrical cables already in the
  walls. Also in this issue, Glenn Fleishman follows up last week's
  iPhone coverage with specifics on AppleCare and service options, and
  Adam explains why the ChangeShortName utility is useful. Rounding
  out the news, we note the releases of Nisus Writer Pro, an Apple fix
  for Intel-based Macs that experienced popping sounds under Mac OS X
  10.4.10, and the release candidate version of the virtualization
  software Fusion. And speaking of Fusion, please welcome the
  program's developer VMware as the newest TidBITS sponsor!
