Doing what?


Could be wrong, but he is asking where you manage to get a VM in the first place, to remote into. If he isnt asking it, I am :)

Many of you may have seen the official response on Facebook to official inquiries as to their privacy policies and advertising standards. There was a memorable video with a likeable yet homely indian girl reading almost word for word the text on the same page. This sparked a lot of interest in privacy concerns, data mining, and the like.

So while browsing I ran across this website, run by TRUSTe.

Included in their very informative and simple site is the option to opt out of various 'behavioral advertising' companies, who can and will mine your personal data to present ads more likely to make them money. My intention is to scare you. A whole, whole lot. This technology is easy to use and, from the list of companies using it, vastly more widespread than just Facebook.

I'm going to spend the next hour or so researching this topic, so I can hopefully come back to enlighten some of you on the dangers of this new development. Long gone are ads like "Thanks Mean Joe" or the Budweiser frogs. Now they're coming into your internets and data mining the shit outa you.

Hide ur kids, hide ur wife.


Well, I know I wont be receiving Megaupload ads. Im not sure what else they could find out from me. Advertising free downloads and pirated music/video/games?
