R/W/W: How To Turn Your iPhone into a Wi-Fi Hotspot By Sarah Perez (May 5)

Feel like hacking your phone today? If you’ve got about 10 minutes to spare, you can turn your iPhone into a Wi-Fi hotspot using a combination of the latest “jailbreaking” software and an app called MyWi. The app takes your iPhone’s 3G data connection and shares it out so other computers can connect to it as if it’s just another Wi-Fi network. You can even share your 3G connection with your iPad, if you’d like. <<Read the Article>>

Just Got Invited to Google Mobile Ads

I’m a big believer in mobile: the mobile Web, mobile ads, etc. Mobile means activity and action: somebody doing something useful. It means commerce.

So I’m very gratified that my law firm has been selected to participate in the Google Mobile Ad beta trial.

If your business uses mobile ads, let me know or comment under this post. We should share experiences.

The mobile ads deployed by Google will reference my current listing on Google Local - now known as Google Places:

ABA Tech Show 2010 in Pictures

Clio Calendar Upgrade (and how!)

Here’s a video of the enhanced calendar put out by Clio on Vimeo.
The guys from Clio show off in this short video and I can’t blame them. Having used Clio for over a year, I did hand-springs when I saw the improvements. Almost makes me want to forgive them for winning the gold in Hockey at the Winter Games!

Foursquare’s First TV Commercial

See if you can tell who Foursquare is targeting in it’s first TV Spot

By MG Siegler on Feb 24, 2010 for TechCrunch

First Google, now Foursquare. Hot on the heels of Google’s first search-related television ad during the Super Bowl, location-based social network-as-game sensation Foursquare is gearing up to do the same thing tonight on cable network Bravo during the show Sheer Genius from 9 to 10 PM. It’s a 20-second spot in which Foursquare highlights its recently announced partnership with the network. The idea is to show users real-world locations for Bravo’s show.

Now this is hardly a piece of legal or even legal-tech news, except that Foursquare is the embodiment of the casestreaming concept I wrote about in this TechnoLawyer piece over a year ago. Oh, how the times have changed. And now that location-aware apps are all around us, including Twitter of course which got geolocation capabilities last year, we’re all that much closer to being forced into acknowledging colleagues in our vicinity whether we want to or not. I think I just felt a chill run down my spine.

the Christmas gift of tomorrow … today!

Mag+ from Bonnier on Vimeo.

If like me you still have not decided what to get your loved-ones for Christmas, may I suggest the product featured in this video? Sure it’s just a demo, but it elegantly demonstrates the future of books, magazines, and newspapers. Before you dismiss this as science fiction, remember that

+ Readers like the Kindle II were once imaginary and are now ubiquitous
+ Microsoft, Apple, TechCrunch, and others plan to release tablets in 2010
+ Cell phones are now mobile computing platforms (iPhone, Android, etc.)
+ Cloud computing means the Internet is now everywhere

Happy Holidays everyone!
