You guys just don't get it, do you? Well I'll spell it out for you: Toyota did this BECAUSE of the Streisand effect. They just got a lot of people to look at sexy pictures of their cars, and what did it cost them?
"Voting works only if you believe your vote gets counted accurately."
God, not this fallacy again! Why do so many otherwise intelligent people think that as long as their own personal ballot got counted then all is well? Don't they realize that 1000 fake voters in swing state X can mean that their own vote, whether counted or not, is moot?
Am I the only one to notice that TFA asked about techies being anti-business, yet most of the comments here were about the business side (businessies?) being anti-tech. Are we not self-centered?

Some clever flunky at Toyota deserves a raise.
We in the US have no national ID (or "mark of the beast", as many would call it). So we can never be sure which of us are actually entitled to vote.
Our constitution, in its infinite wisdom, gives state legislatures control over elections. So uniformity is effectively prohibited.
But don't worry, eventually we'll get so FUBARed that Canada will stroll in and fix all that for us.

Diebold doesn't eat "my" vote. Either it eats everybody's vote or nobody's. Either it steals the election or it doesn't.

These are even more obvious: BINJ Is Not Java (for those all-night coders), or FRINJ Really Is Not Java (for those way-out coders).
