> ***Do We Need A Bill of Rights for Web Services?
> Tim O'Reilly's latest:You can think of open source as a kind of "bill
> of rights" outlining key protections for software users and developers.
> As we move into the world of web services, in which software is no
> longer distributed as either binaries OR source code, but instead
> performed on a remote server, what kind of bill of rights is required
> to protect users? What kind of agreements will provide web services
> users and developers with some of the freedoms that we have come to
> expect from open source?  http://www.oreillynet.com/pub/wlg/3266
>
>
> ***Hacker Takes a Crack at TiVo
> Breaking into your DVR isn't about stealing service--TiVo has been
> really friendly to hackers in the past. Instead, hacking your TiVo is
> about scoring more features and getting the services you want. This
> Wired article tells you what author Raffi Krikorian has in store for
> you in his upcoming book, "TiVo Hacks."

> Improved Productivity
> The future looks bright for Python. O'Reilly's collection of stories
> about successful Python-powered projects makes it easy to see why
> Python isn't just a scripting language; it is being used more and more

> ---------------------
> Java
> ---------------------
> ***Making Sense of Java's Dates
> Measuring time is easy. Representing it is hard. Time zones,
> internationalization, and localization all make it tricky to give the
> correct date. Newer versions of the JDK have improved Java's date and
> time APIs, but they're still a little tricky. Philipp Janert explores
> date and time handling in Java.

> .NET
> ---------------------
> ***Implementing Custom Data Bindable Classes: CollectionBase By now, 
> everyone is familiar with grabbing a DataSet from the database
> and binding it at runtime to an ASP.NET list control. This works just
> fine. But DataSets are weakly typed, providing late bound access to
> their properties. What if you want to use your own strongly typed
> custom object with meaningful properties and methods instead of a
> generic DataSet? James Still shows you how to create them for your own
> classes.

> XML
> ---------------------
> ***Designing a New Schema with XML Design Patterns
> Following on from our articles on XML schema design patterns, this
> article applies these patterns to the design of a new schema,
> leveraging existing XML languages such as XHTML and RDF along the way.
> http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/06/04/patterns.html

> ***Power Keys in Jaguar
> David Pogue received a letter from a reader who couldn't put his Mac to
> sleep. The keyboard command described in "Mac OS X: The Missing Manual,
> 2nd Edition" kept giving him a black screen instead. David points the
> power user in the right direction in the latest "From David's Desk."
> http://missingmanuals.com/david/

> ***Rob Griffiths' Top Mac OS X Hints, Part 2
> Rob Griffiths has selected his favorite or most fun tips from his book,
> "Mac OS X Hints, Jaguar Edition." In Part 2 this week, he offers tips
> on speeding up iPhoto, burning a multisession CD, and more.
