Good News – Software Could Replace Lawyers
A few decades ago, it would take a team of lawyers and paralegals, months to complete research for a specific case.

Google Chrome OS Cr-48 Trackpad Fixed? I Think Not
For many of us, the number one complaint concerning the Google Chrome OS Cr-48 notebook computer, has been the trackpad.

If It Is So Easy, Why Doesn’t Everyone Start An Online Business?

Can You Beat A Speeding Ticket Using A Cell Phone App?
I just read a story in which one man described his adventures in traffic court after being cited for speeding. The alleged speeder was cited for doing 40 mph while driving in a 25 mph zone on his way home from work. Since this was his first time receiving a speeding ticket, he said nothing [...]
Blogging Died Yesterday And No One Told Me
Yesterday the New York Times posted a story, or maybe I should call it a tale, of two young people who quit blogging. Nobody was visiting their Web sites so they fled on over to Twitter or Facebook where the world recognized their talents. The youths were then able to reach their target audience, which [...]
Would You Use Google Chrome Without A URL Bar?
It is being suggested that Google may be considering the elimination of the URL bar in its Chrome Browser.
