There’s an App For, what?

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

So, given the way the new iPhone 3g S release brought in a couple of features I had always thought were lacking in the iPhone (copy/paste chiefly), and happened to coincide with both my birthday this weekend and our AT&T cell phone contract being up for renewal, and upgraded equipments, I couldn’t help but assume that getting an iPhone was simply fate!

So, today my iPhone was delivered. It’s been activated, and I’ve downloaded a couple of apps that I already knew I’d be grabbing, like Evernote, Tweetdeck, Google Mobile App, Facebook and Tripit.

What else should I be downloading? What free apps do I need to try out, what pay apps do you find were well worth the price? All suggestions welcome!

    About Last Week

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    When I look back on those years, it breaks my heart to know that half (probably much more!) of the people in our industry exist as some version of me in my teens and twenties because they don’t feel safe. On a very personal level, it makes me cry for all the pain and hurt out there that I wish others didn’t have to know so well. On a professional level, it hurts all of us. How much better equipped could we be for technology changes and the challenges of working in the legal industry if there weren’t so many women and men who felt the need to hide to feel safe? How much more successful could your organization be if all of these folks felt safe enough to stop hiding their talents and ideas? Leaders, what are you doing to ensure that everyone feels safe? Are you telling them how to hide themselves better, or are you creating a space where they don’t need to?

    It matters to the bottom line, it matters in terms of career development, and it matters personally to far too many people who have their own stories to tell about their own experiences in and around our industry. Listen to them. Let it hurt you to hear their stories. Let it be heavy for you to learn the truth. Let that hurt turn into a determination to put an end to it.

  • Blocking popups

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I installed the new Google Toolbar yesterday on my work machine. I have made a somewhat half-hearted attempt to use IE a bit more than usual, but not a whole lot more since then, just to see how many popups it blocks. As of 1:30 this afternoon the count is 42. So I wonder, exactly…

    This is bad, bad news…. “A Naked Security story reports that Checkpoint analyzed Android devices owned by two large companies, and found malware infections in 36 of them. The users hadn’t downloaded the malware – they arrived with the devices, meaning that they were installed somewhere along the supply chain.   The malware in the…

    Klez worm Variant is back -yet another variant of the Klex worm is running loose. Seeing as how it takes advantage of a year-old vulnerability in Outlook, it really makes you wonder about some people. I’m sure you’ve probably seen this one around, but here it is anyway. Using the back button in IE can…

    Speaking of ILTA

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The conference session schedule was released today, an yup, not only will I be attending, I’ll be speaking a couple of times as well. In looking over the details, obviously I’m drawn to the Litigation Support sessions at first, and frankly, I’m a little underwhelmed by the titles. Seems like some of the same topics…

  2. Free apps: Kindle for iPhone, Phoneflix (if you subscribe to Netflix), Google Earth, icanhazcheezburger, Nozbe (if you have a Nozbe.com account), A Free Level, Flashlight.

    Paid apps: Trism (if you're into Bejeweled on slanted steroids). Photobuddy (for photobugs that need an exposure/DoF calculator for shooting in manual).

    Novelty stuff you may want to try and then delete: iFu, Ustream (this thing is unbelievably laggy, even on wifi), Yowza.

    I also recommend jailbreaking it when you feel up to it. Installing themes and skins is worth the effort.
