Julian Assange's fourth and final British battle against extradition to Sweden for alleged sex crimes started with a day of technical legal argument in England's highest court.
In contrast to previous court appearances for the Australian WikiLeaks founder, only a small number of supporters gathered outside London's Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Some sang verses of Bob Dylan's I Shall Be Released, while a lonely Australian flag was hung, daubed with the words "free Assange".

Inside the court, a judicial bench of seven heard from Assange's barrister Dinah Rose QC that Assange's appeal should be upheld.
She said the Swedish arrest warrant issued for her client is invalid because it was issued by a prosecutor not deemed to be impartial.
Google employees are going to get a nice stocking stuffer for Christmas: a customized version of the latest stock Android phone, the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, which is also the first device to sport Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4.0).
The news --- and images --- come from posted by Edu Pereda, a Software Engineer at Google’s Zurich office, who posted them on (where else) Google+. The images, aside from showing Google employees lining up for their device, show these devices to have a different back than normal Galaxy Nexus smartphones.
The back cover of the "Christmas presents" is one that carries various Google+ and Android icons. Of course, we were not impressed with the back cover of the GSM version (we haven't seen the back cover of the Verizon LTE version). It seems cheap and almost toylike, and not the easiest to put back into place (properly).
It's been confirmed that both Google’s London and Zurich offices are giving out free Samsung Galaxy Nexus devices to their employees. We're guessing that all Google employees will get one of these customized smartphones.

In what seems very reminiscent of the issues that some governments in the Middle East had with BlackBerry Messenger and other services, in the wake of the recent U.K. riots, the British government is reaching out for help, not just to RIM, but also to services like Facebook and Twitter.
Among the ideas that U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron has presented to Parliament since the riots is possibly banning people from using social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook if they are thought to be plotting a crime of some sort.
In addition, the government will examine possible ways to halt the spreading of online messages on various sites, if they are being used to foster unrest. That would include not just Twitter and Facebook, but also RIM's BlackBerry Messenger, which was seen as a prime communication method used by rioters during the violence this week.
Social media was credited with helping in uprisings such as Egypt's and Libya's. In the case of the U.K., social media is getting, not credit, but blame. In reality, when one thinks about it, is its use in the U.K. really all that much different that its use in Egypt or Libya?
It depends, of course, on your point of view. As real-time communications tools, these services can be used in violence such as the U.K., social unrest such as Libya, Tunisia, or Egypt, or even helping in incidents such as last month's Mumbai blasts.
Cameron said, "Everyone watching these horrific actions will be struck by how they were organized via social media. Free flow of information can be used for good. But it can also be used for ill.
"And when people are using social media for violence we need to stop them. So we are working with the police, the intelligence services and industry to look at whether it would be right to stop people communicating via these websites and services when we know they are plotting violence, disorder and criminality. I have also asked the police if they need any other new powers."
"Police were facing a new circumstance where rioters were using the BlackBerry Messenger service, a closed network, to organize riots. We've got to examine that and work out how to get ahead of them."
It's this "closed" network of RIM's that Middle Eastern countries were most frightened of: encrypted, restricted to BlackBerry devices only, and capable of group chats.
Jim Killock, the executive director of online advocacy organization Open Rights Group, had a different view than Cameron. He said, "Citizens also have the right to secure communications. Business, politics and free speech relies on security and privacy. David Cameron must be careful not to attack these fundamental needs because of concerns about the actions of a small minority."
