Friday’s Tech News Grab Bag
By TheEmperor | February 8, 2008
A few items in Technology news have snagged my attention this week. The most monumental I believe is the fact that someone made a copy of the Diebold Master Key and can now open and manipulate any of the electronic voting machines. As if Diebold wasn’t insecure enough to begin with, they’ve added monumental stupidity on top of general incompetence. Way to undermine the election process guys.
In less dramatic but still very cool news scientists demonstrated a Power Knee Brace which generates enough electricity through regular walking to charge 10 cell phones. The device is still in testing but could be used to power wearable computing devices in the future.
Another interesting tidbit is that Google appears to have dropped out of the wireless spectrum bidding after pumping the auction price high enough to trigger a special FCC provision that requires the spectrum to remain open for anyone to develop devices for.
And that’s what I’ve found interesting this week. Also, while I’m talking about the news I’d just like to say Mit Romney you bastard. You betrayed your supporters by throwing your weight behind that fascist McCain. Supporting him for the presidency is supporting a regime of violence and warmongering. We liked you Mit, we supported you, and you stabbed us in the back. Ok,I’m off my soap box now.
