The Digital Divide
How do the latest technologies affect our communities? How can we use science to benefit society and how do we keep it from harming us?
KBOO's The Digital Divide attempts to answer these questions and ask a few of our own through interviews, recordings, and commentary. The show touches upon such issues as open source, privacy, transparency, intellectual property, free speech, accessibility, hacking, net neutrality, file sharing, piracy, social networking, pollution, bioethics and more.

Digital Divide for August 13, 2010
If you use computers and internet, chances are you use open source software. Whether its word processing with OpenOffice, browsing the internet with Firefox, or serving up web pages with Apache, there's an open source solution for just about any problem. But can open source help us build a better voting system?
Dave DeAngelis speaks with Greg Miller of the Open Source Digital Voting Foundation about creating an open source, publicly owned, and trustworthy voting technology for any U.S. elections jurisdiction.
We'll also hear a recorded talk with Howard Rhinegold, Professor at Stanford and Berkeley, about how open source software encourages collaborative thinking and development.

Gathering Outside OMSI Moon Simulcast
NASA's bombing of the moon was set to take place at 4:31 AM. For our membership drive special, we'll covered the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite or LCROSS mission.
In this audio, we hear from the crowd gathered outside OMSI, the Oregon Museum of Science and Industry. OMSI had announced that they would be providing a video simulcast of the Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite impact on to the Moon. However, many who showed up to watch were locked out and stuck in the cold to try and look up and view with the naked eye. As the crowd grew restless, a group of protesters and mock counter-protesters arrived to debate the moon's plight.
