FTC Notice

Pursuant to 16 CFR Part 255, the Federal Trade Commission's Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising, please note: (1) iPhone software and hardware developers routinely send me free versions of their products to review. I sometimes keep and continue to use these products that I did not pay for after posting my review, which might be considered a form of compensation for my review, but I do not believe that I let that color my review. (2) When I post links to product pages on certain stores, including but not limited to Amazon and the iTunes App Store, my links include a referral code so that when products are purchased after clicking on the link, I often receive a very small percentage of the sale. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Again, I do not believe that I let that color my review of products. (3) Some of the ads that run on this website are selected by others such as Amazon or Google. If one of these ads comes from the seller of a product reviewed on iPhone J.D., that is a coincidence and I do not believe that it colors my review of that product. Other ads are from paid advertisers, and if I discuss a product from a company that is a current advertiser, I will note that. (4) Some of the ads that run on this website are from monthly sponsors of iPhone J.D. When I discuss products from these companies on iPhone J.D., I do so to pass along information provided to me by the sponsor. Often, I will also provide my own commentary on the product, and while my goal is to be honest, please keep in mind that I was compensated to promote the product. If you have any questions about this, just send me an e-mail or post a comment on a specific product review.

Courtoons

David Mills is an appellate attorney in Cleveland, Ohio. Last month he started a fun blog called Courtoons [UPDATE 5/18/09: The site is now located at www.courtoons.net] where he posts a new legal cartoon every day. There is not much of an iPhone angle here -- David tells me that he uses a Blackberry -- except perhaps that when you visit the website in Safari on your iPhone, the cartoons are a good size for an iPhone screen once you double-tap on a cartoon to zoom in. Plus, it is Monday morning, which is reason enough for us all to deserve a chuckle.

I do a lot of appellate work, so I love that he has a lot of appellate humor here. He also has a lot of funny cartoons related to criminal law. You probably need to be a lawyer to get some of his jokes, but many have universal appeal.

His site is worth adding to your bookmarks for the next time you need a laugh. Here are two of his recent cartoons that made me smile.
