TidBITS#934/23-Jun-08
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/934>

  As the heat of the summer kicks in, Adam turns his attention to the
  just-released Firefox 3 and finds it full-featured and surprisingly
  capable after the previous version, which could barely be considered
  a Macintosh application. Meanwhile, it's Glenn Fleishman's fate to
  explain complex Internet technologies, such as why there are public
  and private IP addresses, how to tell which your network has, and
  what that means for using Apple's Back to My Mac service. Jeff
  Carlson changes gears entirely, and talks about how AppleCare once
  again proves its worth by providing a replacement battery for his
  MacBook Pro. In the TidBITS Watchlist this week, we look briefly at
  the releases of CrossOver Mac 7.0, the Xserve EFI Firmware Update
  1.1, ConceptDraw Office, and Growl 1.1.4.
