Apple Haters Gonna Hate
September 9, 2014
Ars Technica has Ron Amadeo. Ron’s pretty influential in the tech world. In fact, it’s Ron’s post that cause a lot of anger toward Moto 360 for its poor technical performance. But Ron also has a “hater” side. Or at least he likes to “troll.” And so he gave us this picture to celebrate Apple’s new iPhone announcement.

Apple released its much-anticipated smartwatch Tuesday, the first new device for the company since its founder Steve Jobs died in 2011. Called Apple Watch, the device, besides telling time, will have broad applications, the company pledged. It will be able to unlock doors to hotel rooms at Starwood hotels next year.

Dancing Around Facebook Spoliation
September 8, 2014
It is the sort of scenario bound to raise the blood pressure or bring the heartburn of any litigator. Your client’s Facebook page features statements or photos that undermine or even outright contradict her claims or defenses in the litigation. Other postings may not even be particularly relevant to the case, but they certainly don’t portray the client in a flattering light. But just how far can a lawyer go in advising clients about “cleaning up” their Facebook page or other online presence? The...

What’s Apple Introducing on September 9?
September 7, 2014
Late yesterday morning, Apple announced that is hosting an event on September 9, 2014 at the Flint Center in Cupertino. My first reaction was that we finally have official confirmation of the date on which I expect Apple to debut the iPhone 6. That was quickly followed by my second reaction, which was that it seems pretty special for Apple to host the event at the Flint Center — the only time I could remember Apple doing so was when Steve Jobs first debuted the Macintosh in January of 1984. (Jim...

Begrudgingly, Google Offers a Form for People Who Want to Be Forgotten | Re/code. If the post title sounds familiar to you, you may continue reading. If not, before you continue, Google it, and get some historical context and perspective. Okay. You back? Google wants to be the repository of all human knowledge. They are getting there. However, it appears that some people and courts don't want to be part of the parade. Like the Sixties generation in which I grew up, they want no part of whatever this...

Samsung Announces The Gear S
September 6, 2014
Samsung's new smartwatch, the Gear S, can make calls and go online without a smartphone - The Next Web. Gear S (Gear Solo) was announced by Samsung yesterday, to be available in October. It has a 3G chip, and can take and receive phone calls, texts, emails, and other data without connection to a smartphone. While I need the bigger screen of my Note 3, this will be a useful device for those who don't want to carry a phone around. In fact, it is a smartphone on the wrist, and, with S Voice, will be a repository...

Could We Soon Send Emails ‘Telepathically’?
September 6, 2014
Brain-wave sensing machines have been used to ‘telepathically’ control everything from real-life helicopters to characters in a computer game. Now the technology has gone a step further by allowing someone in India to send an email to his colleague in France using nothing but the power of his mind. The researchers used electroencephalography (EEG) headsets to record electrical activity from neurons firing in the brain, and convert the words ‘hola’ and ‘ciao’ into binary. Read...

In-house Counsel Need to Get Smart(er) About Tech
September 6, 2014
Maybe it's time for in-house lawyers to ditch all the technology and dust off their fountain pens. Our company, CEB, recently ran a full-scale study of in-house legal technology, interviewing corporate counsel and surveying 117 companies on the implementation and performance of their six most common technology systems (contract management, document management, e-billing, e-discovery, IP management and matter management). The study assessed such things as cost, efficiency and quality. We also asked...
