Now activists have a mobile tool to highlight inequality. The chanting of Occupy Wall Street seems so 20th century.  That's Homesnap. It's an app that allows anyone to take a photo of a house and automatically find out data ranging from square footage to, ah-ha, the market value. Here is the coverage in Tech Crunch. Here's a likely scenario.  The owner of Company X is accused of allowing unsafe conditions to exist in the workplace.

History might wind up labeling them The Accidental Downward Mobiles.  Is there a silver lining in this phenomenon of possible widespread downward mobility? It's 9:36 A.M. New York Time. The Dow is down almost 300 points.    No one knows how far it will plunge by time the market closes. Or 2018 ends. Or what it will do in 2019 and beyond. And, those over-60 become equal. Mostly.   That will include both The Smugs and The Non-Planners.

People use their cell phones, excuse me — I mean mobile phones — excuse me, I mean smart phones — for more than calling these days.

The capabilities of the mobile phone gave con artists Andrew Bachman , et al. the opportunity to extract hundreds of millions of dollars from those with mobile devices. The crime was called "mobile cramming." The fee went on the mobile phone bill.  Meanwhile, the Federal Trade Commission has conducted three rounds of refunds of the mobile-scamming victims. Every technology seems to generate new types of scams.

I’m on my way to get lectured by my dentist and as my lovely wife is driving, I decided to get caught up on some tech news. Much to my surprise, C|Net News is now iPhone-friendly. This is a welcome change. In my opinion, their iPhone-friendly design is second only to Ars Technica’s. See and download the full gallery on posterous.

Decades of live trial coverage on television and all the fictional Dick Wolf's law and order programming have wired us to be efficient crime-solvers. At least from our armchairs.

There was no shame about being part of the mobile-park concept.  The mobile homes are gone. The West is different from the East.

Even high-quality content outside those two niches isn't often a money-maker. The New York Times suffered a loss in Q1. And the kind of cool content which is Huffington Post's signature on AOL has become a commodity.
