A Projector in Your Cell Phone


We have a projector here for times when we need to go to rural areas and need it. It’s about 4x4x12 in size. Compared to what is coming out now and in the next few months, it’s a behemoth. About a year ago I heard these were in development. Well, now they are in the production and near-production stage.

The latest thing is projectors that are built into your cell phones. Samsung and others have them and there are competing technologies. Here’s a video that can make any powerpoint user salivate at the expectations and possibilities: http://spectrum.ieee.org/video?id=921

To carry a projector inside your cell phone…the ultimate in convenience. What an unexpected stunner that could be in closing arguments.

Free Federal Case Law Source Online

From time to time we see something new that's worth a look. This is one of those times.

If you're a young attorney who can't afford to get on Pacer or Lexis or Westlaw to research case law, there are lots of sources out there on the net, including Findlaw, Justia and others. There's a new one worth a look too.

www.websupp.org is a free collection of federal District Court case decisions that can be useful. It fronts a simple search device, apparently based on Google, that only requires a google-type input to yield results.

The database is apparently about a quarter million written opinions and is kept up to date. We received an appellate decision from the 6th Circuit just a few days ago and by doing a simple subject search at Websupp the decision popped up in a fraction of a second.

If you can afford Lexis or Westlaw, great. If not, take a look at Websupp. The price is pretty hard to beat.
