Administrator agrees to surrender computer in Web cam case
April 23, 2010 by Dissent
John P. Martin brings us the latest development in the lawsuit against the Lower Merion School District for activating a webcam to record a student in the student’s home:
The Lower Merion School District administrator who had the ability to activate the Web cams on students’ laptops agreed Friday to let investigators inspect her personal computer to see if she used the remote tracking program at home, according to an attorney in the case.
The administrator, information systems coordinator Carol Cafiero, has also agreed to sit for a second deposition, attorney Mark Haltzman said. Cafiero had previously refused to answer lawyers’ questions about her role in the now-infamous tracking program.

Fourth Amendment Remedial Equilibration: A Comment on Herring v. United States and Pearson v. Callahan
DOH! I should have thought of this business opportunity. Hardware and software goes obsolete, unsupported and unavailable every day. Run this kind of business to support a “Museum of Ancient Computing” (Did you know they used to have monitors that didn't display color?)
Emulation For Preservation of Digital Artifacts

"Author Salman Rushdie donated his papers and notes to Emory University a while ago. Not surprisingly, many of Rushdie's original notes, drafts, and correspondence existed in electronic form. Rather than printing them out or converting them to other formats, archivists at the university created an emulated image of Rushdie's old computer, complete with old software.
