TidBITS#903/05-Nov-07
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/903>

  Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is still fresh in our minds, for good and ill.
  Adam examines the revelation that Apple's software license agreement
  for Leopard Server now allows virtualization, a change that could
  save significant resources for those running Xserves. In less
  encouraging news, Rich Mogull finds Leopard's new firewall wanting
  in multiple ways, and  a Trojan horse called OSX.RSPlug.A is in the
  wild and targeting Mac OS X (but there's an easy way to avoid it).
  Even after shipping Leopard, Apple has been busy, releasing minor
  updates to the MacBook and MacBook Pro, pushing out new versions of
  iTunes and QuickTime, and preparing for this week's launch of the
  iPhone in the UK. Elsewhere, Glenn Fleishman relates the (possibly
  momentary) availability of AppSnapp for installing applications onto
  the iPhone; Mark Anbinder ponders what IMAP access for Gmail means
  for Mac and iPhone users; Adam uses GrandPerspective and WhatSize to
  identify large files on our server and explains why we've had some
  downtime; and we give away copies of SmileOnMyMac's TextExpander 2.
  Finally, the jig is up! Crazy Apple Rumors discovered the TidBITS
  secret agenda, and, yes, it involves killer beavers.
