Gizmodo (7438) permalink
Conspiracy theorist or not, any time I'm typing information into a computer at any time of the day, I know that it can be lost at a moment's notice, by the simple glitch of a program or power supply. There's simply no permanence to digital information, which makes the potential alteration of such data both frightening and perfectly realistic. Apply that principle to something like a presidential election, and the prospects become downright scary.

IFA 2008 Overload: Televisions (1)

After the gigantic display at the entrance to the Samsung stand, their array of options looks almost ...Shared by Matt (6)Contribute comment

But what really sets this printer apart is that you don’t replace the ink: when the cartridge runs out, you replace the whole printer.
