RW, You should only accept first party cookies from sites you wish to do business with or whose services you wish to use. This is how the ad networks track people, in general, is through the use of third party cookies. My browser is set by default to refuse all cookies, both first and third party. I only enable first party cookies on an as-needed, site by site basis, typically when a site's services won't work without it. I suspect you have lost control of your privacy as a result of this. Its really too bad that your experiences have led you to believe there should be no expectation of privacy on the Internet and as a result, its OK for Steve Jobs to upload your geodata. Sounds pretty lame to me, and I'm glad we have Senators who legislate and stand up for privacy. Congressmen are making inquiries to determine whether Apple's business practices violate Section 222 of the Communications Act. -- Zax
