Italy's premier Berlusconi SMS-spams
voters' mobile phones 06/12/2004 01:45 AM
Italy's Berlusconi government spammed the cellphones of millions of citizens with text-messages about voting procedures for tomorrow's EU and local elections. Some call it an unprecedented invasion of mobile privacy for political control. Others argue it's a smart way for the administration to ensure Italy's voting public gets out the vote. Either way, unsolicited text messages don't grow on trees -- the stunt cost around $7M US, and critics want to know who paid for it.

The message, received on cell phones on Thursday and Friday, carried the sender line of the Presidency of the Council of Ministers, Premier Silvio Berlusconi's office. The message detailed when the polls will be open and what documents citizens need to vote.

"Finally we have recourse to a tool like the text message that is now in everyday use to bring the state closer still to its citizens," said Technology Minister Lucio Stanca. But the political opposition branded the strategy as a political tactic. The government "is trying every subterfuge to recover votes. It's alarming that privacy is violated in such a sensational way," said opposition lawmaker Francesco Martone.

Bottle Cap Tripod

Bottle Cap Tripod 07/20/2004 02:28 PM

Just the other day I was commenting to a friend how infrequently the tripod mounts on most low-end consumer cameras are ever used, because who ever packs a tripod when they're running around with their tiny camera? This Bottle Cap Tripod is a great solution, then, making it easy to throw together a jerry-rigged tripod whenever you need one. And if you live in New York, you can probably just pick up a bottle off the street. Not perfect, but not bad for 10 bucks. (Thanks, Jon!)

After we mentioned that bottlecap tripod a couple days ago, a few of your wrote in with your own DIY projects, and they were all very nice and stuff but posting news is hard work and we sort of, you know, forgot. But then Jake Ludington sent us this very well put together HOWTO this morning, and then we forgotted less. And it's probably the best DIY version we've yet seen; the addition of the washer would seem to add a lot of extra stability. (Thanks to everyone who sent in their versions!)

Michale sez, "Tripods are great for photography, but a pain in the ass to carry. Everyone these days seems to be carrying water bottles everywhere. So trust a Japanese company to combine the two to make a really useful thing: A mount that makes a bottle filled with water or soda a useful stable base for your digital camera."
