use that data to build different reports to present daily,
weekly, monthly, or even yearly page statistics.

Sometimes in order to go forward, you must first go backward,
especially if you're designing for handhelds. Only a handful of
developers are actually working to deliver content to alternative
devices, and the rest of us are wondering how to negotiate these
alien lands.

7. NET NEWS: The Age of E-Sigs is Here, Failed Dot-coms May be
Selling Your Private Information, Court Clarifies
Domain Protections, Quarter of U.K. Population Uses
Net, Say Analysts
>The Age of E-Sigs is Here
U.S. President Clinton signed the "Electronic Signatures in Global
and National Commerce Act" into law, giving electronic signatures
and documents the same force in law as those done with ink on
paper. The act eliminates legal barriers to using electronic
technology to form and sign contracts, collect and store documents,
and send and receive notices and disclosures.

>Failed Dot-coms May be Selling Your Private Information
Some dot-com failures, including Boo.com, and Toysmart, are
resorting to selling customer data as they scramble to find assets
that can be sold to appease creditors. The practice has raised
the hackles of some privacy watchdogs, who feel that the practice
is at best unethical and at worst, potentially illegal.

>Court Clarifies Domain Protections
A federal California court this week ruled trademark and service
mark protections did not apply to generic domain extensions. The
ruling stated that .web is not protectable as a trademark and
dismissed all claims, saying that ".web" is a "generic top-level
domain" (gTLDs) and not protectable.

>Quarter of U.K. Population Uses Net, Say Analysts
The Internet is now used at least once a month or more by a quarter
of the U.K. population, according to figures published Friday by
Forrester Research. Growth of Internet usage has been steady rather
than explosive in the U.K., up from 15 percent in December 1998 to
21 percent in May 1999, to 24 percent in November 1999 and topping
25 percent in May this year.
