File this under “you get what you pay for.”
Imagine you are walking out of your office to your car or down the street to grab lunch. You turn the corner and there at your feet – so small that you almost missed it – lays a little USB drive. You bend down and pick it up and note that it is a 64 GB drive. Wow – those aren’t cheap, you think to yourself.
When you return to your office, being the good samaritan that you are, you plug your new found drive into your computer’s USB...

[Avoid a Claim] Copyright infringement scam by David Wang of China Resources Machinery Co.
Two Ontario lawyers have reported to us that they received the following message from the purported David Wang of China Resources Machinery Co. This scam is very similar to other breach of copyright or trademark scams we have seen over the last several months, and identical in wording to the fraud under the name of Daniel Liu. It is a setup to dupe a lawyer into wiring good funds from a trust account after depositing a fraudulent cheque received in payment of damages.

My friend Mike Seto came a across an interesting survey that lists the main functional technology products that the 200 largest UK firms are using. Many familiar names there – but some news one too.

[Law Technology Today] Quick Tip: Focus Your Audience
It’s a common scenario: you’re leading an audience through your meticulously prepared slidedeck when you’re suddenly forced off script. Maybe someone in the audience asked an interesting and complicated question, or perhaps you’ve realized that a particular point in your presentation requires elaboration. Whatever the reason, it’s a moment when you need to shift the audience’s attention away from the screen and onto you.
