Federal Election Commission to Monitor Online Campaign Finances

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on October 13, 2004 - 11:21am.
Washington -- A recent federal court ruling mandates that the jurisdiction of the Federal Election Commission (FEC), which oversees federal election laws and the public funding of Presidential elections, be extended to the Internet, the Associated Press reported. The ruling would compel the FEC to monitor campaign finance and spending limits on the Internet by interest groups, campaigns and political parties; however, the FEC has said it may appeal the ruling. "I don't think anybody here wants to impede the free flow of information over the Internet," FEC vice chairwoman Ellen Weintraub told AP. "The question then is, where do you draw the line?" The FEC exempted online ads from a federal ban on coordination between candidates and corporate-funded groups, but last month's ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly reversed the FEC exemption.

Huntington Beach, Calif. -- Japanese electronics manufacturer Sharp has announced the release of its Sharp LL-151-3D display, a 15-inch monitor that can display 3D images without the need for special glasses. The monitor uses a parallax barrier to separate two distinct displays, which are skewed slightly so that the eye believes it is viewing a true 3D image. The $1,499 display may also be easily switched between 2D and 3D views. Sharp said that the display is targeted at markets including video games, life sciences and design.
