Apple files for iPod trademark in
Although the US Patent and Trademark Office had officially granted Apple registration number 2,835,698 for their trademark iPod on April 27, 2004, the European Patent office today, published Apple's European trademark application number 005340484 dated September 27, 2006. Apple has listed their Hong Kong application number 300612990 as the Priority date in the filing, noted as 03/04/2006. The European application mirrors the Hong Kong application's International Classes which are noted as 9, 16, 28, 35, 38, 40, 41 and 42. The full coverage of these classifications are noted below. For the record, the USPTO published a "Revocation of Attorney/Domestic Representative and/or Appointment of Attorney/Domestic Representative" notice from Apple Computer on June 21, 2006 which states: "By submission of this request, the undersigned REVOKES the power of attorney currently of record, as listed above [John C.
What Is XML DOM?
I find myself longing for the old days, when I could design a web site in 5 minutes on a Sunday and then go play golf for the rest of the afternoon, and still collect a full week of salary for services rendered. That was back in 1996, when the internet was still new. Websites were created exclusively with HTML. The client would email me the content for their website, which I would upload to FrontPage, then insert some tags and a template for formatting and layout, add some graphics, and that was it. Nowadays, I find myself working up to 10 hours per day designing web sites. I have to use so many different programming languages and specifications when creating a site that it makes me dizzy. I can barely type this article because my brain literally hurts from all the different programming languages I have swirling around in my head.
Don't bother going to the UW Gallery
Go on, admit it: when you think of art, you think of pictures hanging on a wall. You think of abstract stone sculptures and lobsters sitting, for some bizarre reason, on telephones. You think of stuffy artists reclining in their sprawling lofts, indulging in fine wine and their inflated senses of self-importance. You think of elitist organizations - highfalutin museums, galleries and other self-serving public spaces - and you hate it. Well, so does Andrew Hunter. The funny thing is, Hunter is the newest director and curator of the UW Gallery, that "small grey building that nobody knows about, and nobody visits" in East Campus Hall. So by all rights one should expect him to be bemoaning the gallery's isolation from campus, and especially the lack of students frequenting the striking installations lodged within.

Practical Django Projects
|
|
Chromodromic writes "Apress's newest Django offering, Practical Django Projects by James Bennett, weighs in lightly at 224 pages of actual tutorial content, but trust me, they're dense pages. Filled with pragmatic examples which directly address the kinds of development issues you will encounter when first starting out with Django, this book makes an important addition to the aspiring Django developer's reference shelf. In particular, the book's emphasis on demonstrating best practices while building complete projects does an excellent job of accelerating an understanding of Django's most powerful features — in a realistic, pragmatic setting — and which a developer will be able to leverage in very short order." Read below for the rest of Greg's review.

Incon writes "Builder AU reports that Brian Aker, MySQL's director of architecture, has unveiled Drizzle, a database project aimed at powering websites with massive concurrency as well as trimming superfluous functionality from MySQL. Drizzle will have a micro-kernel architecture with code being removed from the Drizzle core and moved through interfaces into modules. Akers has already selected particular functionality for removal: modes, views, triggers, prepared statements, stored procedures, query cache, data conversion inserts, access control lists and some data types."
