As the US prepares for a national election this week, I wonder how much longer you will have to go to your local precinct to vote. Voting technology is so out of date it isn’t funny. Finally, Nevada electronic voting may move us forward as they are the gaming capital of the world. In some respects, the irony is appropriate as politics involves gamesmanship. I can withdraw money worldwide with my ATM card, but I have to vote at one place in an eight hour time frame. I hope they soon fix that so people who want to can vote conveniently.

Interesting article about a phone add on that is designed for night vision, but in fact will see an image through clothing. Now how does this relate to war driving one might ask … the answer is I am looking at the legal issues of wardriving. If you can see through clothes, do you need a search warrant? Do you need to have a particular type of clothing on to have an expectation of privacy?

I seldom pass on jokes on the internet. There are just to many of them and it isn’t worth the traffic. I did find this one particularly funny however. If you ever watch robot wars … this little bit is a good twist on it.

Today we’ll start with the bad, then the ugly. (sorry, not much good worth mentioning today.)

Two new Viruses are around for Windows users to worry about, Bagle-AT and Zafi-C. The former managed to get though several mail server Virus filters before the patterns were updated to block it, so if you get any mail with subjects claiming to be a joke, be suspicious. If you are not protected, now might be a good time to head over to tips.littlehosting.com and have a read.

Gmail users should note that a flaw in the Google mailing system can be used to gain total control over a users mailbox. Google are apparently looking into it.

This is a very neat on-line utility for splitting images. It will build the mouseovers even. It will only work with proportional images needing splitting, but if you only do one every once in a while it might work well for you.

This little on-line utility will help you build a favicon. You can build one manually if you wish using irfanview and your image editor, but if you don’t need a lot of control, give this a try.

Another article by an expert driving around looking for open LAN’s in an area of England. They found 300 lans in 30 minutes, more than half of which were un- or under-secured.
