At the Web 2.0 Expo this week, Microsoft is unveiling its new Live Mesh service. The company says eventually all your files will be able to sync up across all your devices using this kind of service.
Also, CNET News.com's Michelle Meyers talks to two reporters covering the murder trial of Linux programmer Hans Reiser. In the second part of the two-part series, she discusses what it's like to blog live in the courtroom.
Plus, the FBI and Congress want ISPs to keep records of online activity for two years; Microsoft says it will "go it alone" without Yahoo; and a court says New York City schools can continue to ban cell phones on campuses.
