≈ Comments Off on Android Flashlight App Violated Users’ Privacy By Secretly Sharing Information.
This flashlight app seemed like a good idea at the time. Unfortunately, it secretly shared its users’ information with advertisers and other third parties without the users’ knowledge. -CCE
The creator of one of the most popular apps for Android mobile devices has agreed to settle Federal Trade Commission charges that the free app, which allows a device to be used as a flashlight, deceived consumers about how their geolocation information would be shared with advertising networks and other third parties.
Goldenshores Technologies, LLC, managed by Erik M. Geidl, is the company behind the ‘Brightest Flashlight Free’ app, which has been downloaded tens of millions of times by users of the Android operating system. The FTC’s complaint alleges that the company’s privacy policy deceptively failed to disclose that the app transmitted users’ precise location and unique device identifier to third parties, including advertising networks. In addition, the complaint alleges that the company deceived consumers by presenting them with an option to not share their information, even though it was shared automatically rendering the option meaningless.

Perils of E-Discovery Reflected in Sanctions Opinion, by Gareth Evans, a litigation partner at Gibson Dunn, Law Technology News
Lest anyone think that hair-raising e-discovery sanctions opinions are a thing of the past, U.S. District Judge David Herndon of the Southern District of Illinois issued a blistering 51-page opinion (PDF) imposing nearly $1 million in punitive sanctions on the defendants in In re Pradaxa Products Liability Litigation on Dec. 9, 2013, and indicated that more sanctions are almost certainly on the way.
The case is an example of how electronic data discovery generally, and implementing legal holds in particular, can be fraught with peril.

Review: iPhone 5s Dock — charge and hold your iPhone 5 or 5s, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone J.D. Blog
Great deal for $29.99. CCE
If you work at a desk and you are looking for a useful accessory for your iPhone 5 or iPhone 5s — or a gift for someone else who uses one — and if you don’t use a case with your iPhone, I’m a big fan of the iPhone 5s Dock made by Apple. Back in 2008, I reviewed the iPhone 3G Dock. In 2010 I reviewed the iPhone 4 Dock and the Apple Universal Dock. In September of 2013, Apple released its first dock with a Lightning connector, the iPhone 5s Dock. I bought it as soon as it came out and I’ve been using it for about two months. It works great with my iPhone 5s, and note that despite the name, it also works with the iPhone 5 since the two iPhones are the same size.

Review: Email by David Sparks — information and tips for getting the most out of email, by Jeff Richardson, iPhone, J.D.
An except from the original post:
The book includes general tips for working with emails, great strategies for reading, replying to and storing emails, an informative chapter on how email works and tips on fighting spam and email security. No matter what device you use for your email, all of that content is useful.
Sparks then goes deep into the Apple Mail app for the Mac, and this book will be most useful for folks who use a Mac and the built-in mail app. He also reviews many of the best programs for the Mac and apps for the iPhone/iPad that you can use to work with email, and devotes a chapter to Gmail.
