The New Stuff from Google Lawyers Will Care About
June 2, 2013

Google I/O 2013 continues, but yesterday was the big keynote speech highlighting changes to some of Google’s programs and services. While some rumors came true – there was a “new” phone announced, just not the X Phone – others did not – no Android 4.3. Some view I/O 2013 as Google’s act of cleaning up its mess. I think the clean up is certainly part of the focus, but I also think Google’s trying to unify services and designs – as Larry Page said, “show what’s possible.” Lawyers...

Google+ Is Important Because Of Google Authorship. Here’s How To Set It Up
June 1, 2013

Social media presentations often promote the Big Four: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and YouTube. Add Google+ to the mix, if only for the advantage of Google Authorship. Google+ has become the second largest social network in terms of active users. And, more importantly, it connects to Google Authorship. But, with an active presence on Twitter, Facebook and other social channels, I’m not a big user of Google+, and you don’t have to be either. It’s enough to have a profile to hook up your Google...

Google has 'lapped Siri' with sci-fi-like search - Computerworld. Google has always been the king of search. Now, the biggest announcement yesterday may be what is to come. How about a futuristic conversation with your phone or computer, and a real thinking computer talking to you about your questions? Google Now is already better than anything else out there, and I already talk to it about my day. It either answers me immediately with relevant information, or points me to websites with the answers...

The “MIT School of Law” – Keynote Presentation @Stanford CodeX FutureLaw Conference
May 31, 2013

Dan Katz has a proposal for an MIT School of Law grounded in computational legal studies.  How many professors at Yale or Harvard Law, he asks, "seriously know anything about legal information engineering, not normative argumentation or policy making." What better place to reimagine law in computational terms than MIT? Of course, MIT might simply start a Department of Legal Engineering.  Or LE, as it would presumably be known among the locals.
