TidBITS#1018/15-Mar-2010
========================
  Issue link: <http://db.tidbits.com/issue/1018>

  We have plenty of variety for you this week, starting with Glenn
  Fleishman reporting on Apple COO Tim Cook's $22 million bonus and
  Verizon's sneaky plan to woo Wi-Fi-only iPad buyers with their neat
  MiFi 3G portable hotspot. Glenn also contributes a look at T-Mobile,
  including an explanation of why the iPhone and iPad won't work well
  on T-Mobile's network in the United States; Matt Neuburg reviews
  C-Command's EagleFiler snippet keeper; and Adam explores how the
  Internet has changed the playing field for businesses like
  newspapers and record labels that sell arbitrary bundles of content.
  Finally, if you run a client-based business, check out our DealBITS
  drawing this week for ProfitTrain. Notable software releases this
  week include VMware Fusion 3.1 Beta, Things 1.3, MainStage 2.1.1,
  LogMeIn Pro2, Safari 4.0.5, and TextExpander 3.0.
