Headline of the week

At least as far as legal tabloids:  "9th Circuit Narrows Computer Fraud Law, Protecting Lying Homely People and Web-Surfing Workers."

Another ABA Tech Journal article fretted that lawyers/ office workers don't talk any more.  I think it depends on your setting, rank in a firm, and area of practice.  Part of being a peon in a large organization without management skillz is noone deigns to talk to you, they're too busy with their rainmaking and rattle shaking and stuff...  But, this is funny:

"...A senior partner at a Boston law firm told her about a typical scene in his office. Associates lay out their laptops, iPods and multiple phones, and put on their earphones. “Big ones. Like pilots,” the partner said. “They turn their desks into cockpits.”

"... Turkle calls for digital-free zones at home and a possible change at work. “Employees asked for casual Fridays; perhaps managers should introduce conversational Thursdays." ..."
