About a week and a half ago, I wrote a post defending Apple against the location FUD being spread. Due to some real, but minor issues (which have already been resolved) Apple was at the center of this. Then the focus seemed to shift towards Google. If Apple is “watching you” with the iPhone, Google must be as well with Android devices, right? Sure, if you’re a paranoid looney. Naturally, that group includes the US government. In an effort to attach their names to these highly publicized complaints and companies, certain legislators have called upon executives to testify before Congress. On Tuesday, those companies will deliver a Location 101 lesson to Congress. As I noted in the previous post, the press certainly isn’t helping with any of this FUD — and may actually be more than a bit to blame for it. After the Apple FUD started spreading, who else but The Wall Street Journal started digging into Google’s location approach as well. The shocking discovery? An email from a Google project manager to co-founder Larry Page stressing how important it is for Google to have their own location database for Android. … No. Shit.

iPad Tips for Lawyers
My iPad2 should be a arriving in a few weeks, assuming it doesn’t fall victim to production backlogs, Somali pirates, or earthquake/tsunami related delays. In the meantime I’ve been doing some solid Lawyer/iPad bonding and in the process I found this great information at The Mac Lawyer (hat tip). In addition to programs like TrialPad, which I wrote about here, take a look at these productivity-enhancing iPad applications:
- iAnnotate Comments, highlights, bookmarks. Import from Dropbox.
- Penultimate Notetaking app.
- uPad Take notes with zoom. Annotate and export PDF files.
- Dragon Dictation It’s, you know, Dragon. On the iPad.
- iTeleport Secure screen sharing to a PC or Mac.
- Shareboard Up to 4 users can collaborate. Projector-friendly.
- Air Sketch iPad whiteboard; annotate and mark-up PDFs etc.
- Browsing Pad Creates side-screen for notes; export to Evernote.
- Readdle Docs Import, view, and work with documents on the iPad.

Now it’s a party …
Recently posts like this one have speculated that we may be experiencing yet another bubble. If you’re playing our home game you know that’s bubble #3; the dot-com boondoggle, the Web 2.0 inflate-a-thon, and now … Color.
What is Color? A photo-sharing App with wrinkles like automatically merging photos with those of every other user within 150 feet. Bam! Instant photo network with total strangers. That’s not creepy.
Business models aside however, here’s the thing. Color just came out, has never made a dime, and may never work out. But it just got $41,000,000 in venture capital funding. Sound familiar? Does Pets.com ring any bells? Netscape? Webvan? Kozmo? Flooz? Gov.com?
All coming back to you? Maybe it’s time to put your money into something stable like Tulip Bulbs.

Foursquare co-founder on dealing with data overload
via venturebeat.com
Naveen Selvadurai, co-founder of Foursquare, offered up advice at this year’s SXSW conference about living with the constant data bombardment we face every day. In his words, there’s no stopping the data fire hose, but there are ways to cope. After making some suggestions he pointed out that it helps to have a “killer ‘fro like mine; chicks dig it. Well, that plus my millions of dollars. But you know.” Words to live by.
It helps to have a killer ‘fro and live in the fast-lane. Yeah chicks dig that. Sorry, what was the question again …?
