Perhaps to be filed under the "Are You Kidding Me?" category, here is a story about a man charged with theft - of about five cents - worth of electricity. You heard me correctly. The Chamblee Police Department is right that "a theft is a theft," but seriously? Isn't it covered by his school taxes or something? I certainly hope Kaveh Kamooneh gets the criminal charges dropped. It makes me wonder if I should be plugging in my laptop or phone the next time I'm with my son and the Scouts are meeting at a public school.

Greg Lambert ponders the future of his industry in light of the Amazon drone delivery idea. He says, "The value has shifted away from our ability to find the golden nugget of information within a mountain of data, and has been focused on getting our customers access to the best products, in the most efficient manner, all while maintaining costs." Let me play devil's advocate for a moment. Has it really shifted? That "mountain of data" is bigger than ever. It is growing at a faster pace than it ever has before. I won't argue Greg's point that there are more attorneys accessing information directly today than 25 years ago. There are also more attorneys doing word processing today as well. But few do it well. Few use more than 20% of abilities of the tools they have. I might ague that holds true for research tools as well.

The right people, tapping internal communications, getting smarter and learning about product issues are listed as the four reasons why a CIO needs social media. Does it translate to the law firm CIO? I think so - at least 75% of it. I know I've found LinkedIn to be a tremendous resource. I love the idea of finding the answer to "What's the one thing IT can do better?" There are so many, better ways to collaborate other than email. The post's fourth point of learning about product issues is the biggest stretch for a law firm. Do you find social media a boon or a boondoggle?

How about we start with "IBM, Microsoft, Amazon and Google are all expected to spend more than $1 billion annually on their global networks in the coming years." That's some budget! For good or for bad, the cloud is where it's at. IBM is putting Watson in the cloud, and that's just the start. "More than 100 products, like e-commerce and marketing tools, will be put inside the cloud as a comprehensive series of offerings for business. So will another 40 infrastructure services, like big data analysis and mobile applications development." I particularly liked the quote, "People will be creating businesses with this that we can only dream about." What can we dream of in legal? Will we see the rise of legal technology as a managed cloud service? Yes and sooner than you might think. Read more at The New York Times: IBM's Big Plans for Cloud Computing
