Criminal Defense Law With An Apple

 Home Office Envy gives us the latest from the Onion News Network.“I’ll buy almost anything that is shiny and made by apple.”

It wasn’t enough that Mac threw its back into Mobile Me and that Microsoft said their future software offerings were going to be cloud based? That Adobe, Autocad and other software leaders are gearing their software in the same direction? Check out Mashable’s list of those already residing in the clouds.

Nothing too exciting at Macworld, huh? Google did post that they are finally providing Picassa to the Mac-verse. Some updates to iLife, iWork, DRM free music and some of the other iBundled products (you can see the overview here). The unibody 17 inch Macbook Pro was given a refresh. But I was hoping for some waves. Certainly none of the bold predictions came to pass. Still if you were in the market for a Mac Book Pro and leaning toward the 17 inch, today was a good day.  

I am now on Twitter. Tweeting with many of my blogging peers. This blog is a stone’s throw away from being a twitter page already. Most of my posts are link and references to other blogs. Still, I like the flexibility of blogging and, for now, I will exist in both web 2.0 worlds. If you are also on twitter you can “follow and be followed” by me @PelleyLaw 

A cool t-shirt for you iPhone lawyers.

My only regret was not being able to post this before Wired. It is a combination of Apple, Criminal Defense, and one of the goofiest iPod accessories ever made. You can read the full post from Nicole Martinelli here.

During what has been hypothesized was some sort of late-night Halloween sex game where the 21-year-old Kercher was an unwilling participant, Guede maintains he was in the bathroom of the young women’s apartment.While she was being killed with a knife, he was listening to music on iCarta, a toilet paper holder roll that doubles as an iPod dock. Guede’s lawyers tried to head off what they thought might be viewed as a sort of Twinkie defense for the digital age in a statement to Italian media (below translation mine):

“It is nothing more than a confirmation of how some abnormal behaviors are apparently normal among young people today,” said laywers Valter Biscotti and Nicodemo Gentile. “Just as Facebook is their virtual world, they now listen to music everywhere, even in the bathroom. The marketing of such products implies a certain routine use.”
