Irene has come and gone. If you weren’t lucky enough to maintain power through the storm but had court appearances scheduled for Monday morning, in addition to wondering how much of the items in the refrigerator would go bad, one question may have weighed heavily on your mind, “are the courts open on Monday?” For me, this meant I spent a large percent of my iPhone’s battery charge...

Remember Stratton Faxon v. Google, Inc.? That was the case where a local Fairfield county law firm took on Google for allowing Silver, Golub & Teitell (another local law firm) to use Stratton Faxon’s name as a keyword in its Google Adwords marketing campaign.

We’re not surprised that there’s an app for everything—from being able to turn on the lights at your house from any remote location, to an app that transforms your cellphone into a measuring lever.

Perry Mason didn’t have a Blackberry, and Matlock wrote everything he needed to know in his diary secured by his firewall jacket.
