Congress passed a new law in February to partially legalize the use of drones: http://www.forbes.com/sites/kashmirhill/2012/02/07/congress-...

Unfortunately, I think such information would be too helpful to spammers.

Are t-shirts really analogous to currency? Generally they are only transferred once (from the company to the individual) and usually if they are worn they'll lose all further transfer value.

Flutter seems to keep the camera on 100% of the time which prevents apps like Skype from using the camera for video chats. I'm not sure if there is a good workaround for that?

Didn't TradeHill operate out of Chile? Kind of disturbing that the long arm of California law can shut down operations there.

The commonsense definition of data should prevail here. Since taxpayers originally paid to compile the data, the county should put all of their GIS data on the web, free to all. If hosting costs are a concern, they should look into creating

I can't tell, but did he leave the foreign travel section blank, or was it redacted? We know Steve definitely had spent time in India at the point.

Indeed, I'm pretty reluctant to hand over my credit card to someone I meet on the street, regardless of the cause that they claim to represent. I imagine this app will be more successful for collecting donations during official campaign eve

Health insurance doesn't normally cover dental work. Dental plans are generally a separate offering, and typically aren't a good deal for younger people who take decent care of their teeth. Even Medicare doesn't pay for dental work.

I can think of one recent example: District of Columbia v. Heller & McDonald v. Chicago. Lower courts have been generally unwilling to embrace 2nd amendment rights in light of those two decisions.

I wonder how the failure of Solyndra fits into this thesis.

The problem is uninformed people then. We should do a better job informing people. No 30-second Super PAC ad can be as effective at sitting down with your friends and colleagues and explaining the issue to them.

I think the crack house analogy is wrong. What if instead of a crack house, you stored your goods in an apartment complex where some people used their apartments for illegal activities? Police wouldn't be justified in entering or seizing ap

A lot of the equivalent in the US will be dependent on state law, so it will vary depending on location.

Actually one can get off-contract Android phones for as cheap as $99, or maybe even cheaper. They aren't top of the line devices, but they work. The only time an iPhone is that cheap is with a carrier subsidy.

There are tradeoffs: In Europe it's more expensive to call a mobile phone compared to a landline. In the US, the caller doesn't have to worry about what kind of device they are calling, the price is the same.

Exactly. The OP argument is too cute by half. Basically the 1st Amendment protects "the freedom of speech", not all speech. Courts have routinely ruled that the freedom of speech doesn't extend to libelous material, and I'm pretty sure they

Actually the Constitution doesn't forbid US Citizens from receiving such honors. You might be thinking of the Titles of Nobility Amendment, which never was ratified by the required number of States.

They needed a number greater than $75,000 to meet jurisdictional requirements in federal court. I'm guessing that was a primary factor in calculating a damages number.

I would argue that the major challenge Japan faces is the demographic trends in that country. Japan is rapidly getting older and is very hesitant to allow immigration to fill the gap. Eventually a very small number of workers will be forced

Search for "channels of commerce." Congress can regulate things such as roadways, waterways, etc, where commerce flows.

Probably the most recent authority outlining the limits of the commerce clause would be the case of United States v. Lopez (1995).

I think your definition of commerce is much narrower than the accepted legal definition. Communications is commerce, hence why the FCC can regulate radio transmissions.

More specifically, the Internet is a channel or instrumentality of interstate commerce, both of which the US Supreme Court has held fall under the power of Congress to regulate interstate commerce.

The original purpose was to give an aggrieved party time to file a lawsuit, but clearly the process is ripe for abuse.

The most noteworthy part, perhaps: "The recommendation includes hands-free and hand-held phones and would go beyond what many states have done to curb texting while driving."
