New iPads to be Revealed on Oct. 22
October 20, 2013
Yesterday, Apple announced that it will make an announcement at an event on Tuesday, Oct. 22. Apple did not say what it would announce, but it is widely expected that this is the date on which Apple will reveal the 2013 models of the iPad and iPad mini. I wouldn't be surprised if Apple also used this event to make other iPhone, iPad, Apple TV and Mac announcements (such as more information on the next version of OS X for the Mac and the upcoming and newly designed Mac Pro).

October 20, 2013
In my Oklahoma Bar Journal column, The Virtual Law Practice − Are We All Virtual Lawyers Now? I play around a bit with the term virtual lawyers and ask some questions about what the term really means. Does it refer only to online delivery of legal services, to lawyers who sometimes telecommute from home or to lawyers who represent clients without physically ever meeting them? If the latter is the case, then there were virtual lawyers before there was the Internet and we are all virtual lawyers...

5 Things To Know About Cognitive Systems
October 20, 2013
The growth in big data is increasing dramatically as more and more activity is represented digitally.

Big data is forcing IT to look for a new computing model in order to help organizations and their decision makers take advantage of all the information available. Here are 5 things to know: 1.

Creating YouTube Channels to Promote Your Legal Organization
October 19, 2013
As an educational resource or marketing tool for your firm or other legal organization, a YouTube channel is very much what you make of it. Some legal channels are maximizing this medium and others have a way to go. In part 1, we looked at three legal sites — Stanford Law School, kCura, and Providence, R.I.-based firm Audette, Barzar, Cordeiro & Grasso, and offered three recommendations on how to create an appealing, cohesive legal channel. Even if you can’t bring a large volume of videos...

Opening up Course Builder Data
October 19, 2013
Course Builder is an experimental, open source platform for delivering massive online open courses. When you run Course Builder, you own everything from the production instance to the student data that builds up while your course is running. Part of being open is making it easy for you to access and work with your data.

Rebirth of IT
October 19, 2013
Yesterday I had the chance to deliver the keynote at the Gartner ITExpo in Orlando. I took this opportunity to reflect on how business technology has evolved in the three years since I last spoke on this stage — and, as part of that, how Google’s commitment to enterprise customers has grown. In 2010, the suggestion that a company could move all of its employees to the cloud was often met with skepticism. People relied on desktop computers and Exchange servers because that was what they’d...
