Created by Tom Martin (LawDroid), Patrick Palace (Palace Law), and Caitlin Moon (Program on Law and Innovation at Vanderbilt Law School), the new American Legal Technology Awards is designed to “honor companies and individuals who are making a difference in law through technology innovation.” It is not the traditional roster of names and companies, which I think is good. I’m curious to see who wins and exactly how “innovative” they are. Congratulations all. Read more at LawSites: 24 Finalists Named for Inaugural American Legal Technology Awards

It’s stories like this that make me wonder whether I should ban Android phones from our environment. Let’s start with the numbers: 400+ and 1,000,000,000. It seems that “A billion or more Android devices are vulnerable to hacks that can turn them into spying tools by exploiting more than 400 vulnerabilities in Qualcomm’s Snapdragon chip, researchers reported this week.” The good news is “Qualcomm has released a fix for the flaws…” and the bad news is “but so far it hasn’t been incorporated into the Android OS or any Android device that uses Snapdragon.” Read more at:

Rick Georges writes about stoicism a fair amount. In that vein, I’m not sure how he found this 1997 video clip of Steve Jobs at the Worldwide Developer Conference, but it’s a great one.

Out went the books as monitor stands and in came a sleek new monitors and laptop arm. Not a lot of people had the time or luxury to think about their home offices, “good enough” was the standard. Sean Gallagher has a thoughtful post on things to consider in your office to move it to the next level of “good enough.” Read more at ars technica: Lawn chairs and kitchen tables: Ergonomics in the involuntary work-from-home era
