TidBITS#996/21-Sep-09
=====================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/996>

  As Snow Leopard and the iPhone OS 3.1 settle in, we have a practical
  issue for you this week, thanks to guest writers Michael E. Cohen
  and Lewis Butler. Michael explains how changes in the iPhone OS
  could cause duplication when syncing calendar events, and Lewis
  figures out how to improve Snow Leopard's autocorrection
  capabilities. In other news, Adam explains how to watch Apple events
  online; and Glenn Fleishman covers Google's acquisition of
  reCAPTCHA, the introduction of the AT&T 3G MicroCell home cellular
  base station, and the 802.11n chip buried in the new iPod touch.
  Doug McLean also contributes a pair of features: a look at
  widespread SuperDrive problems and an article about the plight of
  real snow leopards (and what you can do to help!). Notable software
  releases this week include Sandvox 1.6.4, Mellel 2.7, MercuryMover
  2.0.6, Camera Raw 5.5, Lightroom 2.5, and Things 1.2.2.
