UCSB has released a short, chilling video demonstrating how a single person can hack an election on a touch-screen voting system. This kind of makes you question the whole e-voting system. I am not suggesting you try this, but I am suggesting you question the reliability of these systems. Are any of these machines safe?

News
Apple allows read access to nearly the entire iPhone file system. This is a mixed blessing. Your Application can read that data -- but it shouldn't. Apple has been rejecting apps that stray outside their sandbox.
From the various rejection letters that I've seen, Apple cites non-specific "violations". These violations have nothing to do with the actual reason that application will not get into AppStore. It helps to see a cross section of these letters because you wouldn't necessarily pick up the point directly from the email.
The problem is that the bottom line for document interoperability is not the format, but the feature match of the applications. The only way ever to get reliable, bottom-line interchange (enough fidelity that no semantics are lost, with graceful degradation) is by restricting feature use.
We live in an age of standard schemas. It is supposed to be a good thing when the whole world can get behind a common standard. However, one of the selling points of XML is how beneficial it is for people to be able have documents with comprehensible tags rather than obscure codes. Chinese element names for Chinese people, for example ... Can you see the contradiction?

Up until very recently every system, desktop and laptop, in their catalog ran Windows and sported a Windows logo in the ad. While the majority still do a half a dozen laptops, all low-end netbooks, are sold with Linux preinstalled and the Tux logo is prominently featured in some of the ads.
Born Digital
postulates a watershed between those born on or before 1980 and those
born after. Although the book is advertised as a guide to the latter
for those born earlier, I suspect that the marketing became unmoored
from the authorship. That's because the book's arguments culminate in
the message that its lessons need to be learned by "digital natives"
most of all, and that they are the ones best positioned to alleviate
the social dislocations caused by digital media and the Internet.
