Election Day Insights on Technology and Voter Experiences

As Election Day played out in polls across the country Tuesday, its course was tracked--in minute detail--by Internet news sites, watchdog organizations and Webloggers, much as they had done most every day over the past several years.< . . .. As Election Day played out in polls across the country Tuesday, its course was tracked--in minute detail--by Internet news sites, watchdog organizations and Webloggers, much as they had done most every day over the past several years. According to reports, voters packed polling stations. Some of them encountered familiar problems such as lost voter registrations and malfunctioning machines, but other voters faced new electronic voting machines, put in place for the first time in this election. The new technology led to some confusion both for voters and for poll officials. While voters swamped polling places nationwide, they also rushed to the Web. The election Web sites of the presidential candidates, news sources and blogs were among the top destinations. A day before the election, the sites of both candidates recorded traffic surges. GeorgeWBush.com received 317,000 unique visitors on Monday, a 103 percent jump from the average of the four previous Mondays, according to data from comScore Networks Inc.

Configuring Ad Zapping Capability with Squid Proxy Service

For some time at my workplace we've been running an ad-zapping service on our web proxy. This page documents how it works, how to use it yourself, how to join the mailing list for updates of the pattern file, and the weirdnesses of our local setup (which you need not duplicate yourself).. . .. For some time at my workplace we've been running an ad-zapping service on our web proxy. This page documents how it works, how to use it yourself, how to join the mailing list for updates of the pattern file, and the weirdnesses of our local setup (which you need not duplicate yourself). Ad zapping is not a new idea. Basicly you interpose between the reader and the web some kind of filter which replaces those annoying ad banners with something unobtrusive. (There are a few motivations for this; see this digression for mine.) The link for this article located at Cameron Simpson is no longer available. .

Exploring Privacy Techniques For Anonymous Internet Usage

Along with the recent government hysteria over terrorists, we've seen legislative measures and 'emergency powers' inviting law-enforcement agencies worldwide to conduct Internet surveillance on an unprecedented scale. But because the state-of-the-art of electronic dragnets makes it difficult if not impossible to exclude the comings and goings of innocent citizens, we thought this a good time to run down the basic techniques for ordinary, law-abiding folk to come and go anonymously on the Net, and keep their private business private. How do you make a truly anonymous post to a newsgroup or a BBS? How do you keep the Web sites you visit a secret? How do you send e-mail and ensure that its contents can't be read by someone who intercepts it? How do you chat anonymously? We'll invoke our foil, Windows addict Harry Homeowner, and lay it out in terms the average user can profit from, though with hopes that even you power users might learn a thing or two in the process. . Discover strategies to explore the internet incognito and enhance your digital safety with actionable advice for everyone..
