the WSJ this week is running an engaging yet horrifying series on how little privacy we have using any kind of telecom device. This first one is on Web privacy (Ha!):

BUT also some ways to fight back:

I wasn't aware of that particular Doomsday scenario--thanks for the Links, Brother DRD. Now I've got another reason to sweat, fret and drink some Scotch.

I really like The Glenfiddich Scotch myself. Keeps the grey goo away.
