How 'Bout BeerCamp?

By Mark Evans | Published: May 29, 2006
If you think it's just all fun, games and venture capital in Silicon Valley, you're probably right.

Who's a Journalist?

By Mark Evans | Published: May 28, 2006
As a newspaper journalist and a blogger, I'm fascinated by the decision made on Friday by a U.S. Appeals court (Apple vs. bloggers who allegedly disclosed the company's secrets) that online and offline journalists are equally protected under the First Amendment and there is “no workable test or principle that would distinguish 'legitimate' and 'illegitimate' [...]
