After I got bored playing Angry Birds on my Christmas-gift-to-myself Android tablet, I had to get down to business. After all, I didn’t drop over $400 to play games. I bought it so I could extract some productivity from my daily bus commute and my lunch hour.
The biggest productivity challenge was getting my Microsoft Outlook data synchronized. I needed away-from-Office access to my to-do list, contacts, and calendar. I’d had previous experience with PDA-to-PC sync, so I knew how… [read post]

Today’s post comes from guest author Leonard Jernigan from The Jernigan Law Firm.
During cancer research in 1986 an accident created the first man-made nanoparticle, an incredibly small particle which can absorb radiant energy and theoretically destroy a tumor. One type of nanoparticle is 20 times stronger than steel and is found in over 1,300 consumer products, including laptops, cell phones, plastic bottles, shampoos,… [read post]

I am very comfortable admitting that I am rarely in the vanguard when it comes to adopting technological innovations. I also tend to value privacy a bit more highly than the 50th percentile of Americans does. Based on those two facts, I will admit that I might not be the most neutral voice in the room when it comes to privacy concerns surrounding toys like Google Glass.
However, it appears I am not the only one who has reservations about glasses which can record anything… [read post]

Who owns the social media content created and maintained in the course of employment? Work product is traditionally the proprietary interest of the employer. But there’s something different about social media content.
A blog created by a company employee during company time on a company computer with a focus on the company’s products may be straightforward – the blog and its content are owned by the company.

According to the news story below, a judge in Montgomery County, Maryland has denied a defense attorney's request to research jurors online. Apparently, the judge finds the practice "totally inappropriate." The case in which the issue was raised resulted in a mistrial; therefore, the attorney did not appeal the judge's decision. Had he appealed, I think he would have won. To date, several states through court rulings have upheld the practice. In fact, in Missouri if an… [read post]

3D printing has become a popular topic lately. While 3D printers that print objects similar to how ink jet printers print words have been around for many years, the cost has come down dramatically, and will continue to come down.
3-D printers are a disruptive technology, and as with any disruptive technology, the law will have to react to issues that come with it. Possible issues include intellectual property, product liability, and use for criminal purposes.
There has been a lot of… [read post]

Settle in, boys and girls, for a little story. It’s a scary story but don’t worry–it has a happy ending. It’s a moralistic little tale about something that happened to one of our colleagues, but doesn’t have to happen to your lawyer billing software.
This gentleman has his vital computer files stored on a mirror drive–a mirror drive is an array of two hard drives. Every time the computer writes a file, it writes it to both drives. That way if one drive fails, the… [read post]
