Monthly tip sheet for PIs, legal professionals, writers, others

We post a monthly investigative tip sheet with FAQs, articles, and research links. This month we answered writers' questions on cell phone spyware, what's public vs private property in terms of where one sits their trash cans (think "trash hits" for stories), an article on surveillance vs. stalking (with examples from recent cases where PIs were found innocent, and guilty, of stalking), and several links for research, including one to a forensic cell phone expert/PI's blog. H.E.L.P. (Handy Educ… Continue

Cell phone stories writing new chapter in print publishing

http://www.cnn.com/2009/TECH/02/25/japan.mobilenovels/ From the article: "A struggling Japanese publishing industry was quick to take notice of the growing popularity of keitai shosetsu, especially early works like Yoshi's "Deep Love." Many of the popular cell phone novels have since been turned into paperbacks, and bookstores across Japan now have entire sections devoted to the digital-age literary genre.

How Did I Get So Dependent?

No Internet where I'm staying (but a great view of the ocean). And last night my cell phone called in sick. Now there I am, unable to communicate. How quickly I've become used to the things I had no inkling of a while back! So the question in my title is rhetorical. I think. Continue

Okay, maybe you do it when you're on the open road and relaxed, but we've been cut off by so many people in the middle of a city who are dialing, driving, and changing lanes at will.

What's Worse?

...then getting stuck behind someone on their cell phone while in traffic? Getting stuck behind someone on their cell phone and watching TV!!! It happened to me the other day on my way to work. The car in front of me was weaving slightly. I could see this little square light where their rear view mirror was located but couldn't make out what it was. Finally I was able to pull up besides them. I couldn't believe what I was seeing! They were watching one of those tiny TVs and talking on the… Continue

I'm Taking Over, and It's For Your Own Good

I've tried to avoid it, but the time has come. Someone needs to step in and save us from ourselves, and apparently no one else is willing. The political candidates can only natter on about the economy and war overseas, but what about the things that are really messing up America? Cell phones: I decree that there will be two types and only two. One has everything on it from GPS navigation to motion picture capability, FX included. The other will simply make phone calls. It will have 10 numbers,… Continue
