iPad Backlash: the Breakdown
A friend recently admitted a favorite past time of his – watching plane crashes on YouTube. Planes crashing, helicopters twirling out of control, boats sinking – all are fair game. For a lot of people, this has been the story of the iPad over the past few days. While some of us take the higher ground, others revel in off color jokes and nitpicking the different ways the iPad will be Apple’s biggest mistake ever.
TweetFeel, a sentiment analysis tool that uses tweets as its data set, offers us a snapshot of this darker side of the iPad. According to an email from Andres Burgos, the project lead for TweetFeel, the company collected almost a half a million tweets since Steve Jobs took the stage on Wednesday, “cleaned the hell out of them and scored about 40,000″ and found an overall positive sentiment hovering at around 60%. But this isn’t the fun part. Nobody wants to see people gush, so let’s take a look at how that other 40% breaks down.

iPhone OS 3.2 – Video Calls, Downloads, Multitasking
The folks at Engadget say they’ve confirmed that the next iPhone upgrade (operating system 3.2) will support video calling and file downloading. That amounts to limited multitasking capability too. Not as exciting as it could be, but it’s still an interesting indication of things to come. You can read the original post here.

Top 10 Disruptive Technologies Noted by Richard Susskind at ILTA 2009
Prism Legal‘s Ron Friendman liveblogged (a/k/a real-time blogged) Richard Susskind’s discussion of the future of the profession at ILTA 2009. Here are the Top 10 disruptive legal technologies on the list:
Document Assembly. Has already changed markets. Providing document assembly online allows for economies of scale. Charges and hours don’t have to relate, making this technology “disruptive.
Always on Connectivity. Lawyers can, and are expected to, be on call 24/7. Deal with it.
Electronic Legal Marketplace. Your value in the a frictionless marketplace. Clients can select legal services in the electronic marketplace and even choose to go with non-lawyer alternatives.
E-Learning. Law schools have long been falling down on the job. The Internet can revive learning with realistic simulations.
Online Legal Guidance. Interactive advice systems in the “latent legal market” (see Suskind, The Future of Lawyers). Sounds like self-guided document automation.
Legal Open-Sourcing. A la Wikipedia. Crowd-sourcing communities of interested individuals can result in better answers than throwing the problem to a single individual. Consumers more likely to talk to friend with similar problems than a lawyer.
Closed Legal Communities. See Legal Onramp. Clients and In House Counsel can pool legal information and check a common knowledge-base before consulting pricey outside counsel.
Workflow and Project Management. High volume, low value work can be made into off-the-rack solutions; making certain lawyers into de facto project managers. Project management requires significant training, but lawyers aren’t getting any. This is a disruptive trend because it highlights the fact that as efficiency increases, billable hours decrease.
Embedded Legal Knowledge. In the future legal knowledge will be built into compliance systems making the contributions of highly-trained counsel less necessary except for unusual assignments.
Online Dispute Resolution. Dispute resolution as a service. Services like CyberSettle versus time spent in Court or in the arbitration system.

I’m still excited.
