Apart from breaking news, we will be including comments on new resources we see, such as e-journal articles, blogs, books, events etc…” Well, better late then never …

So, I need some advice from all you tech-savvy law librarians out there! I’m (finally) buying a laptop, and wondered if anyone had any advice? I’m looking to spend around £500, and need a machine to do standard stuff (word processing, gaming, some light programming, multimedia). I was thinking about this Toshiba running Vista, although I’m not averse to buying a low-end Mac.
Thoughts appreciated!

Slideshare, the presentation sharing site, is unavailable and apparently under attack by Chinese hackers. See: Slideshare blog and TechCrunch coverage. There is a question about who is behind this and why this would be happening in light of the upcoming Olympics in Beijing. Thanks to Slideshare team member Arun in New Delhi who updated me via Twitter.

Our fine state Senate here in Florida has seen fit to make attaching “Truck Nutz” to your vehicle illegal. The article looks so much like something from The Onion, that I had to verify it. Sure enough, Florida Senate Bill S 1992 as engrossed 4/17/2008 contains the following clause: “Section 5. Whoever willfully displays on a vehicle an image 550 or device of reproductive glands, commits a noncriminal traffic 551 violation, punishable as a moving violation as provided in
chapter 318, Florida Statutes.”If bad taste is going to be criminalized in Florida, we’re all in a lot of trouble.
