Perhaps
he should
add Australia .
Or, what are the costs to use
https for everything?
Apart from "they" will ask for a backdoor...

Of course MS is paying Amazon big buck for the Bing thingy.
So, that complicates things.
It's too bad that there is no moral code at many big
corporations anymore (like MS and Nokia with their false
photos and videos supposedly taken by the cell phone... you
know the one they wouldn't let the press even hold or see up
close at the press event... you know, the one that is not
close to being done yet)... You know, the one. The famous
Microsoft vaporware phone (second verse, the same as the
first). Bet it will be beta software when it is released,
any bets?

The author of "Digital Evidence Plays Important Role in Apple v.
Samsung" says "once you no longer need it, get rid of it."
I've forgotten how many times I've benefited from a quick search through
years-old email and other documents. It's very difficult for me to say, with
certainty, "I'll never, ever need that document again."
Far more practical advice is to tell people to estimate the "likely net
worth" of something. Does it provide any potential value at all? Does
keeping it have any non-negligible costs, such cluttering up search results when
you are looking for that "needle in a haystack" in your old email?
Does it have any actual liability, such as it being used against you in a
lawsuit?
Then comes the "Murphy's Law in action" kicker: Does routinely using
your brain to decide what to keep and toss create any legal liability if you
*decided* to keep something that was better gotten rid of or you *decided* to
get rid of something that was better kept, vs. having a "corporate
policy" or other "algorithmic method" decide for you? Or,
perhaps, you live in a legal climate where "just following policy"
exposes you to MORE risk than making deliberate decisions on a
document-by-document basis. Then comes the Murphy's Law
double-kick-in-the-pants: Legal climates change. What was the legally safe
thing to do last month may be become retroactively toxic if the Supreme Court or
a high appeals court makes a particular decision on a particular case. The fact
that you threw out a bunch of documents last week because it was the sound,
legal thing to do may bite you if a court makes a ruling that the absence of
those very documents should be considered in your opponent's favor if you are
sued down the road.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

Unfortunately I humbly disagree with the author on his voiced opinion in the
article:
There's an old saying that
everyone complains about the weather, but no one does anything about it. The
open source community maintains an active voice of indignation when it comes to
the harms flowing from bad software patents.
The insinuation in
that is that:
Software developers complain a lot about Software Patents but
don't do anything to address them.
To correct the Author's misconception, I
put forth my observations at what I see happening. As a group, we:
Complain
lots about software patents! Yes!
Also identify examples of where the
patents are harming.... such as the recent Apple vs Samsung case!
Also
identify exactly where that harm is coming from - specifically patents that
should not have been granted in the first place such as the very broad patent
granted to Apple on a "rectangle device with rounded corners"!
Also
identify various appropriate solutions to correct the issue such as the solution
of clearly identifying Software should not be patentable in the first place
(with a few very good reasons why this should be so)!
In short:
We do
more then just complain about the weather... we're taking steps in efforts to
try to inform those who control the weather how to fix the problem we see
occurring!

Not really. A Free Market is one where
any carrier who wants has a kiosk in the mall that unlocks his competitor's
phones.

Yet
another comment that suggests Alsup's knife would have been
useful to
whittle away all the confusion, and present the jury with
only core
questions.
