=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/952>

  The big news this week is that TidBITS publisher Adam Engst survived
  the New York City Marathon on Sunday, ensuring that there will be
  future issues. Turning to the stuff we really cover, AT&T is now
  offering free Wi-Fi to iPhone users, Apple has opened iPhone
  developer forums, and LogMeIn is testing a tool that lets you
  control remote computers via an iPhone or iPod touch. Returning to
  the world of the Mac, Adam relates at how it's possible to put 6 GB
  of RAM in a MacBook or MacBook Pro, and Doug McLean reports on the
  unveiling of Netflix's Mac-compatible Watch Instantly player. Also
  this week, Glenn Fleishman examines the ground-breaking legal
  settlement that will keep Google Book Search going. In the TidBITS
  Watchlist, we cover the releases of Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac
  12.1.4 Update, iKey 2.3.1, TextExpander 2.5, SpamSieve 2.7.2, and
  Fission 1.6.
