    Yep, you have to clear those cookies out every time you leave a website. Daily adware scans are advisable too. Of course, then you just get random, nonsensical ads that you also have no interest in.

    You almost make it look like Google spying on you is something good, with it’s targeted ads. But that doesn’t mean Google’s bad. Right information in the wrong hands, anyone? Oh and one more thing: I don’t get it: Why is Joannes link labeled as “Joanne on Facebook” while it clearly shows a myspace-Link? Any developments I missed over here?

    really great info, and I like your size-relative map. I’d like to look at it more, is it online somewhere? :)
