I have not heard of this thing you speak of, *Weekend*. But I do have your morning reboot:
* Internet analysts [ComScore released a study][1] today that finds more than 14 of the top 25 U.S. web properties draw more traffic from outside the US than within. There's a fair amount of buzz about this this morning, but I don't follow. Given that the vast majority of the world's population lives outside the U.S. this seems like a fairly obvious statistic.
* Walt Disney Co. announced yesterday that it has [sold 500,000 films][2] through its fledgling distribution deal with the iTunes Music Store. Total revenue for the sales is around $4 million, not bad for a the first two months.
* The W3C has [proposed a standard for widgets][3]. The W3C definition of widgets includes "clocks, stock tickers, news casters, games and weather forecasters." The W3C proposal is currently in draft status and looking for comments. [via [MicroPersuasion][4]]
* FCC commissioner Mjchael J. Copps wrote an op/ed piece in the Washington Post yesterday [calling the U.S a laggard in broadband internet access][5]. Anyone living in rural America could have told you that. No word on the possible connection between this and point number one in today's reboot. [Ars Technica][6] has some suggestions for the FCC.
