Diebold, the manufacturer of ATM and e-voting machines, does a great job of keeping themselves in the news. Hopefully, they subscribe to the theory that "all publicity is good publicity" because most of the news that they make is negative. You'll remember, of course, the good times Diebold had in the great state of California, or the way their CEO was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the president," or even the way they sought to gouge American taxpayers who demanded that e-voting machines produce a paper trail. From one employee's internal e-mail:

Ah, yes, the sweet smell of corporate altruism.
