Bear Stearns Fraud Verdict: E-mails As Proof of Guilt? That's So 20th Century So cases built on e-mails no longer have the cred they once had. But the problem is this: Those thoughts on the fly are often really good evidence of malicious or illegal intent.

Twitter Figures Out How to Make a Bundle Twitter's "pro accounts" would seem to make a lot more sense for advertisers and marketers than hoping that people will see their ads amid all the billions of posts.
