Summit agrees deal to save fish. World latest: A plan to restore the world's heavily depleted fish stocks is the first major breakthrough at the World Summit. [Guardian Unlimited]'The problem of saving fish stocks has become increasingly urgent as fleets with sophisticated equipment from Japan and the EU sail the world making short work of once productive fisheries - having a devastating impact on many of the world's poorest people, who rely on coastal fisheries for their main source of protein.'

Another iChat feature for tonight. iChat allows peer-to-peer file transfers - by far the easiest way to send a file from a one computer to another. Just drag and drop any document from the Finder to an online user on your buddy list and voila (can you tell I'm getting ready for Apple Expo Paris ). [Ken Bereskin's Radio Weblog]

This sounds useful.

News.Com: Why telecoms back the pirate cause. Q&A with Sarah Deutsch, VP and associate general counsel at Verizon. The whole legislative attack came as a complete surprise to Verizon, because we had thought we had a long-term deal with the copyright community after spending three years negotiating the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. That was supposed to be the end of the war. [Tomalak's Realm]

The Jagwyre Review. Rumbles in the Jungle [The Register]'I've been recommending users from two ends of the spectrum to examine OS X: computer phobes who want functionality without fuss - and the UNIX literate or the UNIX curious.'
Yes! Gosh, it's fun being a Macophile user these days. The review says that the speed bump everyone is hollering about isn't nearly as great as he'd hoped. Not a wide-eyed review of Apple's latest OS.

Don Park has a weblog. Don and I worked together in the late 80s. I don't remember how we met, but I asked him if he could hack IPC into the pre-System 7 Mac OS, and he said yes, and did it. I put an API on top of it, wrote some docs and sample apps, and thus was born UserLand IAC Toolkit, an ancient forerunner to Apple Events, XML-RPC and SOAP.  [Scripting News]
Ancient? How about way ahead of it's time!?
