TidBITS#916/25-Feb-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/916>

  Two industries underwent major changes last week: Cellular carriers
  began offering unlimited minutes for $100 per month; and, after a
  long and expensive campaign, Blu-ray beat HD DVD as the optical disc
  format of choice for high-definition video. Glenn Fleishman looks at
  both events and how they relate to Apple. Also in this issue, Glenn
  writes about a new hardware vulnerability that may expose encrypted
  data with the help of compressed air, Jeff Carlson discovers that
  DRM won't let him view rented movies on his Apple TV, and Joe
  Kissell discusses how to achieve better video presentations with
  iChat Theater. We also note the releases of SuperDuper 2.5, Airfoil
  3.1, Xsan 2 (along with the discontinuation of the Xserve RAID), a
  keyboard update for the MacBook and MacBook Pro, a 2 GB iPod shuffle
  (plus a price reduction for the 1 GB model), and Brian Tanaka's new
  "Take Control of Permissions in Leopard" ebook.
