Question for a lawyer from John Robb - "Any lawyers out there? Inform me why Sun would get a chance to bundle with Windows and the rest of us with competitive development platforms can't? Why not Macromedia? Why not UserLand? Why not apps players like Chandler?" [John Robb's Radio Weblog]

Nationwide wireless network - I haven't reported this because it seems too good to be true. Intel, IBM & AT&T combine to create a nationwide network of wireless hot spots? I wouldn't pay Boingo or Wayport $40 a year or whatever they want to have limited access in just a few hot spot locations. But I would pay twice that for truly pervasive access. And I'll bet that, as wireless becomes more used in homes and businesses, a lot of other people would too. Alan Reiter, however, is circumspect, if not skeptical.
Jurors surf the web - and this causes dismay to judges. It's something that trial lawyers should think about. If a juror has a high speed connection at home is it realistic to think she won't do a little surfing at night between trial days? Shouldn't the trial lawyer know what sort of stuff they might come upon? Could this be a new field for consultants?

Hey, the Geektel site (about high-speed Internet access) is great! Look at the 20 hotels in New Orleans, and look at the level of detail about the Internet service provided. Plus the site lists high-speed access availability in many countries other than the US. Wow! Okay, so what if he doesn't have an RSS feed. This is a site I'm going to visit manually with great frequency.
