Jersey Shore’s Vinnie considering law school at Yale or Harvard:
“I took the LSAT. My score was decent. I had a plan that if my score was really well [sic], then I might of [sic] just went [sic] to Yale or Harvard… But it was just mediocre. I can get into law school,” he added. “I had a 3.9 GPA, Latin Honors [wtf], but I’m doing this right now. Law school is always on the back burner.”

Actually, it’s a Bargain
Remember that iPhone app a while back that sold for $,1000, and didn’t do anything other than show people that you spent $1,000 on a single app? That crazy idea netted some programmer $5,600 before Apple took the program down, to the mixed delight and horror of the collective internets.
There’s a new kid in the $1,000 iPhone app club, though. And this one is nowhere near as nonfunctional as the last one. The program in question is called “BarMax,” made by a company of the same name. BarMax (the company) offers bar review courses for recently-minted J.D.’s who hope to pass the California Bar Exam. Courses in New York run about $3,000: the idea that you can get the materials you need to pass for a mere thousand dollars sounds dirt cheap.
I found the sticker shock of an iPhone program amusing, especially considering how reasonable it is by bar review course standards; doubly so, considering that it’s dwarfed by the the cost of law school itself. Hell, we’ve all mortgaged our futures to get here. What’s another Cleveland between friends?

The Office (Problem)
The patent system is designed to promote the progress of the useful arts and sciences: Congress is given the authority to do crazy, un-capitalist stuff like give an inventor a monopoly on his shiny new “machine that peels potatoes in the shape of Hitchcock’s silhouette.” Oh, sure, we limit the time to a couple of decades, but it’s an iron-clad right to hock those tater obliterators ((When my legal career fails to materialize, I’m inventing this and laughing all the way to the bank.)) without limitation, right?
Not exactly.

(File) Sharing is Not Caring
Jammie Thomas isn’t the only file-sharer to choose to litigate her defense. While it’s true that most people the RIAA sues for copyright infringement elect to settle (or point out that they don’t own a computer, or that they’re dead), a graduate student named Joel Tenenbaum has just finished litigating his defense in a civil copyright suit against the RIAA.
I think it’s safe to say that it could have gone better.
Almost Legally

I don't know what's worse. Being too sick to make it to school to turn in your homework, or having to hand-write it in 2010.
