Boingboing discovers a government conspiracy! Actually its just the finger protocol. You know, back when we had unix shell accounts (some of us still do) you could just "finger username@host" and get some info about the person. Meanwhile, Wired discovers google's tracking cookie five years too late. See also: My piece on how to protect your privacy using firefox. Just setting Firefox to do a "session" cookie with google, meaning the cookie gets erased when you close the browser, keeps them from tracking you. Also, what is the deal with wired.com's ads? They have a lot of misleading "You got mail" boxes jumping around. Nothing screams lack of tech/market/culture savvy like "punch the monkey" type banner ads.
