Brave New Ballot: The Battle to Safeguard Democracy in the Age of Electronic Voting
Imagine for a moment that you live in a country where nobody is sure how most of the votes are counted, and there’s no reliable record for performing a recount Imagine that machines count the votes, but nobody knows how they work. Now imagine if somebody found out that the machines were vulnerable to attack, but the agencies that operate them won’t take the steps to make them safe. If you live in America, you don’t need to imagine anything. This is the reality of electronic voting in our country. Avi Rubin is a computer scientist at Johns Hopkins University and a specialist in systems security. He and a team of researchers studied the code that operates the machines now used in 37 states and discovered the following terrifying facts: • The companies hired to test the election equipment for federal certification did not study the code that operates the machines and the election commissions employed no computer security analysts. • All votes are recorded on a single removable card similar to the one in a digital camera. There is no way to determine if the card or the code that operates the machine has been tampered with. • It’s very easy to program a machine to change votes. There’s no way to determine if that has happened. • There were enough irregularities with the electronic voting machines used throughout the 2004 election to make anyone think twice about using them again. Avi Rubin has testified at Congressional hearings trying to alert the government that it has put our democracy at risk by relying so heavily on voting machines without taking the proper precautions. As he has waged this battle, he has been attacked, undermined, and defamed by a prominent manufacturer. His job has been threatened, but he won’t give up until every citizen understands that at this moment, our democracy hangs in the balance. There are simple solutions and, before you vote in the next election, Rubin wants you to know your rights. If you don’t know them and you use an electronic voting machine, you may not be voting at all..

iPhone and iPod Touch Programming: Handling Touch Interactions and Events for Mobile Safari (Wrox Briefs)
This Wrox Blox explains touch input events and illustrates how to detect an orientation change, capture two-finger scrolling inputs, and simulate a drag-and-drop action when designing applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Web developers designing applications for Mobile Safari, the browser on iPhone and iPod Touch, are able to easily incorporate touch input event handling without writing any code at all. However, while page flicking and scrolling are easy to implement, Mobile Safari does not provide a way to trap or override most touch interactions, nor does it allow developers full access to all DOM events. Perhaps the most important event handling constraint is that no events trigger until the user’s finger leaves the touch screen. However, because developers are able to trap for viewport orientation changes, they do have full programmatic control over their application when the orientation changes between portrait and landscape modes. As a result, you can adjust CSS styling and positioning based on the current mode.

Her stalker wants revenge The governor's spy . . . he simply wants her. Ultimately, Cady risks career, reputation and her life. To the rest of Florida, Miami's pulled off a rare flawless election. But Cady knows it's not. While America purges his party, Florida's governor not only holds the state but shuffles key players into office, reclaiming his fast track to the White House. Only Cady stands in his way. And Cady won't stand down despite her boss' threats --- not when her stalker closes in for his prize --- and for certain not to think about Neal Charles, the persistent governor's man with eyes the color of the Gulf Stream before a summer storm. Cady's protégé, Isabella "Izzy" Palacio mulls over Neal for playtime, a dance not lost on Cady. When Izzy vanishes, Neal interjects himself into Cady's flawed election, not for the governor or the information he needs, but for Cady. Can Cady trust the stranger? She must. Soon the two adversaries stand together fending off danger and searching for truth, and for Izzy. Together they discover the silent coup marching across the country in the governor's state-of-the-art voting machines. And it was so easy. Can she stop it?.
