MONTGOMERY -- The Alabama Supreme Court ruled against Love Stuff, a Hoover business that sells vibrators and other sexual devices, and upheld Alabama's anti-obscenity law.

The court ruled that the business failed to show that the state law banning the sale of sexual aides was unconstitutional.

"Public morality can still serve as a legitimate rational basis for regulating commercial activity, which is not a private activity," Supreme Court justices wrote in the opinion issued Friday.

"As the Eleventh Circuit in Williams IV pithily and somewhat coarsely stated: 'There is nothing 'private' or 'consensual' about the advertising and sale of a dildo."

Love Stuff had argued a section of Alabama's anti-obscenity law banning "adult-only entertainment" near churches and child care centers was unconstitutional vague because the phrase was not defined.

"We're not closing," said Love Stuff attorney Amy Herring.

She said the store is reviewing its options for appeal.

She said she was very pleased that two of nine justices concurred with the store's argument.

Facebook adds "@" replies a la Twitter

Facebook announced today on their <a href="http://blog.facebook.com">blog </a>that you can now "tag people and other things you're connected to on Facebook" by adding an "@" sign and the persons name.&nbsp; Here's how it works:<p /> <div style="margin-left:40px;"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex;margin:0 0 0 .8ex;">Now, when you are writing a status update and want to add a friend's name to something you are posting, just include the "@" symbol beforehand. As you type the name of what you would like to reference, a drop-down menu will appear that allows you to choose from your list of friends and other connections, including groups, events, applications and Pages. Soon, you'll be able to tag friends from applications as well. The "@" symbol will not be displayed in the published status update or post after you've added your tags.<br />

Really similar to how tagging works in photos but also tore a page right from Twitter's play book. Also going to have to see if it actually takes off and people start using it...

Tethering and iPhone 3.1: Hopefully soon

While not dependent on the iPhone's recent ability to tether, I do like having it as an option when all else fails.&nbsp; Unfortunately updating to the latest firmware the hack I use was broken.&nbsp; Not to be dismayed as the developer, Ben, has a fix on the way that will re-enable the now defunct tethering. <p /> For those of you who do not know how this works, many different hacks came out shortly after AT&amp;T announced that tethering would not be out (although third world countries would be able to do this....) and as all good hackers do, they found a way to enable this feature to work anyways.&nbsp; Simply point your iPhone's Safari browser to <a href="http://help.benm.at">http://help.benm.at</a> and follow the instructions to enable both tethering and MMS functionality.&nbsp; <p /> Ben and his team posted there should be a fix on the way and also to note that AT&amp;T will be enabling MMS September 25th.&nbsp;
