Interesting Things This Week

Steve just posted about the Kindle coming to Canada – certainly a noteworthy and overdue event. (I’m going to hold out for something that displays colour.)

Some other noteworthy things from the last few days (at least for those of us in the tech/legal/privacy world) include:

Ontario Privacy Commissioner report on the Smart Grid and privacy

Federal privacy Commissioner reports critical of Fintrac and the No Fly list

A new socialnomics video about the ROI of social media.

Twitterfeeds from two Canadian law tech conferences that gave a good flavour of the speaker messages.

Court rulings in the Apple Psystar Hackintosh case

And for those into sci-fi reports that the US military is about to issue contracts for the development of “refrigerator sized” laser blaster cannons. Even though commercially viable fusion reactors or warp-drives would be preferable.
