- AP reveals fair use to be fake, fake, fake June 4, 2009Go go creative commons and go go licensing fees. MediaShift takes a look at iffy fair use rules and the wobbly future of news copyright on the Web through the epic toils of AP's legal staff. I've always tried to follow the fair-use-doesn't-exist rule. The Copyright Act stipulations take too long to translate and are a little [...] […]

- WHAT DOES SJ HAVE THAT NY DOESN’T: 4G January 18, 2010- Was watching the playoffs this weekend with friends when that old Philly vs. New York saw reared its ugly head: Philly and South Jersey feeling second rate when ever it compares itself, or whenever we're compared to New York. What a croc. But in that vein, its worth pointing out something we've got that New York [...] […]
- Jack Bauer’s calling…. on Nexus One? January 18, 2010- I think the Day 8 season premier last night of '24' found Jack Bauer using a Nexus One cell phone. Did anyone else spy the familiar silver-ringed camera lens on the back of his mobile while he was talking to CTU when the helicopter exploded? Maybe Jack was trying to reach Google's customer [...] […]

- NEXUS NONE: Google phone released January 6, 2010-Listen closely and ... pffffft ... you can hear air coming out of the new Nexus One smartphone from Google. Great Gods, when it was released for sale Tuesday afternoon, the Earth didn't quake, clouds didn't part and angels didn't sing. You only heard Google touting it.

- Google Phone approved by FCC December 14, 2009- The controversial Google Phone was publicly approved by the FCC today.
