AP - Democrats John Kerry and John Edwards, on their first trip together to the state that narrowly put President Bush in the White House after a disputed recount in 2000, promised on Thursday that "every vote is going to be counted" this year.

Panasonic 65" Plasma Touch Screen 03/22/2005 04:46 PM

InfoSync World cleans up their CeBIT coverage with a piece on Panasonic's 65" Plasma HDTV with an infrared frame that turns it into an enormous touch screen. Referencing Minority Report far too many times, the reviewer tells us that Panasonic had developed some very specific weather tracking and aerial navigation software to take advantage of the touch capabilities. The great part is that the infrared unit is an independent frame around the television and Panasonic also makes a 42" and 50" model, so retrofitting your existing Plasma shouldn't be too difficult. It's USB-powered and accurate up to 2x2 millimeters. No word on price or availability, but a quick Google search pulled up a German Lycos catalog page with a price of about $5,150 for the 50" model.

Not Quite A Touch Screen To Let You Feel
Fabrics Online

Not Quite A Touch Screen To Let You Feel
Fabrics Online 09/10/2004 01:18 PM
One of the problems some people have with buying clothing online is that they can't "feel" the fabric. They can't pick it up, move it around, and see how well it's really made. A student in the UK has designed some software to try to solve this problem, letting users "feel" clothing online. The software tries to make it easier to sense "softness, fullness, smoothness, hairiness, prickliness, drape, thickness, elasticity, rigidity and warmth" of the fabric using some 3D animations. For example, to see "hairiness" it would show a close up, and as the user moved the mouse, you could see how the fibers moved. Of course, if they combined this with a bit of haptics to give some touch feedback, it might seem a lot more useful. Realistically, this is just a bunch of video demonstrations about the fabric.

Electronic Voting Machine Shown To
Mis-Record Votes

Electronic Voting Machine Shown To
Mis-Record Votes 05/14/2004 03:14 PM
One of the silly arguments of those defenin g poorly designed electronic voting machines is that there's never been any evidence that they miscount votes. Well, there goes that argument. Found over at Freedom to Tinker is news of some research done on electronic voting machines used in Florida elections that clearly show the machine's voting image and the audit logs do not match, which could lead to votes being lost or not counted properly. What's scary about this is that the report noting these problems was written a year ago and, even those these problems were known, the machines were still used and the same problems occurred again. As always, the local election supervisor claims that, even though they know about this problem, it's no big deal. She claims that the only problem is with the audit system - and not the vote tabulation. Of course, if the audit system doesn't match the vote tabulation there's no way to know that the vote tabulation actually works properly. Even worse, the "workaround" the supervisor came up with was basically to use uncertified software. What's wrong with a paper trail again?

Touch Screen Machine Scaring Off Senior
Citizen Election Judges 02/13/2004 03:31 AM
Well, here's a completely unexpected consequence of Maryland going to all touchscreen voting systems: the election judges who watch over the voting process, who are mostly senior citizens, are scared off by the high-tech machines. The old voting system, they could handle. However, understanding a touchscreen voting system when many of them are still shying away from computers is too much. And, apparently, it's not easy to find election judges, so when they scare off a good percentage of the usual crowd, there's a definite shortage.
