Remix Guaranteed Fresh
+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+--+

Just when you thought they were peaking, the Beta Lounge DJs jacked into
the next level, pumping out the sounds for the second coming of funk.
Get high-voltage breakbeats streamed straight to your brain - from the
masters of the mix at the Beta Lounge.

"ASCII is a far richer text format than most of us deserve." So speaks
Sun CEO Scott McNealy, who holds forth from Packet's HotSeat on Java's
bright future, Apple's survival, and why ActiveX is like the common
cold. Get McChesney's HotSeat - plus Schrage on markets, Garfinkel on
tech, and Silberman on culture - in Packet, made possible by Oldsmobile.

When making extravagant demands, it's wise to plan ahead. This Monday,
Paul Boutin presents a wish list for the 5.0 browser releases - and
explains why neither JavaScript nor JScript deserves its "J." Wishful
thinking, GIF animation tips, and a NAP with MAE West - this week in
Webmonkey, a service station for the wired world.

Did Disney add a spoonful of IPO sugar to keep skittish Starwave execs
in tow? Ned Brainard on the mouse and the moolah, in Monday's Flux.

During California's Gold Rush, the guys who sold the pickaxes were the
ones who wound up rolling in dough. This time around, Silicon Valley
Internet Partners has found its fortune helping corporate newbies get on
the Net. You'll find open jobs at SVIP, U-Wire, and The Web Magazine -
in this week's Dream Jobs, made possible by Dockers Khakis (tm).

Pretend leader of the spinoff that never was, Bill Campbell left Claris
to help put a stop to GO as its president and CEO. A true industry
veteran, Campbell would arrive at Intuit just in time for the Microsoft
buyout to fall through. In Netmoguls, the cribsheet for the digerati.

This week Cocktail sips the Pink Gin, the Martini's British cousin - a
bold, biting cocktail that isn't nearly as delicate as it looks.

It all boils down to one question - who can you trust? This week Net
Surf institutes a new standard: The RFC Generation. Plus: The odds of an
audit, an ego in jeopardy, and a candidate for manifestectomy.

With smirking, self-anointed moralists nipping at one heel and scowling
prudes gnawing the other, Jon Katz's acrobatic prose is no luxury - it's
how he keeps the hounds at bay. Witness a new round of dazzling Katzian
gymnastics - or jump into the game yourself - in this week's Netizen.

Prepare for a shock: This week Dr. Weil puts his seal of approval on the
PB&J lunch - with kudos for the bread and peanut butter and reservations
about the jelly. The doctor also answers queries on cranberries, air
purification, arthritis, and ways to fight migraines while pregnant. And
in Week Five of "8 Weeks to a Healthy America," you're invited to take a
sauna, add ginger to your cooking, and walk for your life.

Still hungry? Experience a Caribbean seafood feast, the Big Apple's best
sushi, and some people in Baltimore who know crabs like no one on earth:
Three fish stories, in Test Patterns' Fillet.

This week's guests in Talk.com:

Monday in Electronic Frontiers: One of the earliest (and noisiest)
channels for future toys and cyborganic strange attractors, "bOING
bOING" is now serving up its 15th issue. Join host Jon Lebkowsky and
"bOING bOING" crew members Mark Frauenfelder, Carla Sinclair, and Gareth
Branwyn for a special salute to the pioneering neurozine.

Tuesday in Head Space: "Science Fiction Age" editor and Hugo nominee
Scott Edelman joins host Martha Soukup to discover what it takes for a
good sci-fi magazine to succeed in the '90s marketplace.

Wednesday in Wired Talk: On the night of 17 November 1996, hours after
the Serb government annulled democratic elections, calls for mass
demonstrations began to appear on a small Serbian BBS. Two days later,
the streets were full of people. Journalist David S. Bennahum, who gives
an eyewitness report on Serbia's "Internet Revolution" in WIRED 5.04,
joins us to discuss what the Net can do against clubs, guns, and tanks.

Friday in DocTalk Live: In this Week Five edition, we'll hear from Dr.
Andrew Weil on mood music, extending your news-fast, and prolonging
those aerobic walks. And the fruit-fast? The green-bean salad? There's
plenty to discuss as we review the past four weeks' achievements and
anticipate those to come.
