As today's President's Day, the blogosphere is a little quiet. There nevertheless are some terrific posts out there. Below are my picks of the day.
Those interested in learning more about China's efforts to censor the Internet will enjoy Opinio Juris's A Million Tiny Holes in the Chinese Firewall, which comments on a Washington Post article and addresses how China's efforts to censor the Internet are thankfully falling short of the mark.
While we're on the subject of China, don't miss Judge Posner's take on how the US government might prevent American technology companies like Google, Microsoft, Yahoo, and Cisco from helping China censor information and monitor and punish dissidents. His post, Google in China--Posner, is up at The Becker-Posner Blog, and as usual, is a must-read.
On the employment law front, check out Cowtown jury gives million in sexual harassment case from Jottings By An Employer's Lawyer. The post discusses a million dollar verdict against the Fort Worth Star Telegram in a sexual harassment case. Also be sure to check out Strategic HR Lawyer's New York's Equal Benefits Law Struck Down, addressing recent developments in New York law.
There were some posts yesterday that you might find interesting. This one from Lawtech Guru Blog, New Google Desktop: Configure It Carefully, or Forget It, discusses Google's latest Desktop tool.
