voting-hackable-or-error-prone-you-decide


Hat Tip: MSNBC First Read: The SciFi channel has a page up that displays voting mechanism by state. It's quite jazzy, but I have one problem with the methodology. Mainly that they seem to think that if it's electronic, it's hackable but not error prone. While they do have a page discussing the pros and cons of the voting machines, they don't rank them that way on the map.

we-are-71

According to eSecurity Planet, the WiKID Strong Authentication System is number 71 of the top 75 Open Source Security Apps. Actually, the ranking seems to be random. We are one of two entries under the "User Authentication" section and the sections are listed alphabetically. So, if our category had been "Authentication", we would have been 12th, just after Anti-spyware. :)

Security geeks who like to chew on numbers will enjoy the WebAppSec Statistics. Lots of pretty pictures too.

According to a recent study by researchers from my alma mater, the University of Virginia, the use of cameras to fine motorists who run red lights actually increases the number of accidents at those intersections. There are fewer T-bone collisions, but more rear-end collisions.
