Video: Twitter on the Nokia N900: via browser versus via app (Mauku)
This video was made a couple of days ago and was initially just to show Mauku running on the N900. It’s a very simple, fast and easy to use twitter application, getting you to your twitter feed and sending out tweets quickly – respond/retweet and check out other people’s posted links. To get Mauku , Go to the App Manager Click Downloads You’ll find Mauku either from “Internet & Networking” category or from “All” Just click “Mauku”, check “I understand and agree” and “continue” (Another great thing about the N900 and Maemo 5 is that it’s so easy to install an application. No deciding whether to install on Memory card, phone or mass memory, or having to accept certificate after certificate…Click install – Done.) Whilst it’s fantastic that the N900 can load up websites like your computer does ( check out N900 with YouTube – just fantastic! ), some sites like twitter.com do need a little work around for mobile and the smaller screen. Mauku is great for getting your tweets out quickly on the go and interacting with your feeds, but it doesn’t offer the same functionality as Nokia’s favourite Twitter app: Gravity

Courts shifting positions on reading employee email
The Wall Street Journal carried an article last week on the US court’s shifting position on whether or not it’s okay for a company to read employee email. Most companies tend to take the position that whatever goes on within the corporate walls–or even within its virtual walls–is company property, and the actual keystrokes that take place on company property are fair game for snooping. However, that’s not always the case. First of all, let’s take a look at why a company would be snooping on employee email.
