UNMARRIED - IT'S A CRIME Imagine this. You have a girlfriend and her name is Silvia. You live together with her and Silvia brought a computer when she moved. Silvia gave you permission to use the computer to check your personal email from time to time. You suspect Silvia is seeing some guy so you install spy software on the computer.

The Conference Board of Canada predicts that investments in technology to prevent and adapt to climate change will have major economic benefits. The report, The Economic and Employment Impacts of Climate-Related Technology Investments concludes that climate-friendly technology investments can contribute to both economic and employment growth over the next five years. This supports the economic argument for initiatives such as the Green Energy Act.
Based on a review of provincial climate action… [read post]

Normally when we discuss the impact of the Bayh-Dole Act, allowing universities and small companies to commercialize inventions made with federal support, we focus on the life sciences where the resulting new drugs and therapies dramatically improved lives for millions around the world. However, the celebration of Earth Day is an appropriate time to consider the contributions our publicly funded research organizations-- partnering with an entrepreneurial private sector-- make in protecting our… [read post]

In legal marketing, technology has given lawyers more options than ever. It is easy to make, post, or tweet announcements to stay visible. Desktop contact management technologies and email marketing services also make it easy to stay in touch with clients and referral sources.
These options may look wonderfully appetizing and make you want to dive in and try all of them. But it is critical to step back and take a look at your office to see what will really work—both from a technology perspective… [read post]

I doubt you have missed the news about the oil spill mess in the Gulf of Mexico. The scammers have clearly noticed and sense an opportunity to make a quick buck. Some companies may issue press releases, or send unsolicited faxes or spam emails that might include: Claims to have products or technologies that are effective in remediating oil spills or restoring the eco-system Mention of contracts or expected contracts with BP, formerly British Petroleum, that will aid the cleanup effort Claims that… [read post]

The Green Technology program has taken on a new importance. Clean tech represents a major element in the economics and pubic debate over federal funding of research and development. The recent spate of high profile company failures — companies that received billions of dollars in loan guarantees and financial incentives and tax credits at state and federal levels — have caused a deceleration in funding of green technology ventures and a new dialog on whether these innovations are market… [read post]

While at the Legal Technology Leadership Summit, I attended the panel entitled “Legal Process Outsourcing and Insourcing.” As I mentioned on Twitter, when I go to conferences I enjoy attending the panels that are most likely to cause pain and suffering among junior attorneys. It’s kind of my thing.Usually, anything involving outsourcing is a good bet to make junior attorneys scream expletives at God before drinking themselves into a stupor. But this panel was surprisingly positive about the… [read post]

I’ve now owned the Kindle Fire for close to a month. I’m very impressed with it but there are a few shortcomings as you might expect. As mentioned in the previous review of the Kindle Fire, what you intend to use it for will help determine whether the Fire is right for you, or if you should step up to the iPad.
Here’s the primary difference between the two: Fire is for content consumption, the iPad is for both content consumption and content creation.
I’ll just come out and say it: from a… [read post]

As a first year law student, a handful of things are given to you (at least where I studied): a pre-fabricated schedule, a non-negotiable slate of professors, and a basic history lesson — illustrated through individual cases. During my first year, the professor I fought with the most was my property law teacher. Now, I realize that it wasn’t her that I couldn’t accept; it was the implications of the worldview she presented. She saw “property law” as a construct through which wealthy… [read post]

Todd Sherer: "And what we’re seeing, what the AUTM survey is showing, is that patent budgets are going down. And that’s of concern to me, because everything has to go through that funnel. You can do a lot of research, basic and then applied research and have translational funding, but that technology has to come through the Tech Transfer Office and through the patent budget. So it doesn’t do us a lot of good just to have funding targeted at programs at the front end of that funnel… [read post]

One of China’s primary challenges is fostering technology innovation. The Chinese authorities want China to transform its industrial model from a low value added/low level technology model to the opposite. To combat stagnating economic growth and the threat of energy and resource restraints, government policy is to try to effect this change as quickly as possible.
This transformation will require access to cutting edge technologies. If China relies on foreign technology… [read post]
