Re: A Joke, Karl?

I have a question for NebuAD (Nebulous Advertising?): How are you going to fire ads back my way once the data is collected if you are not, indeed, keeping personally identifiable, individual information?

Yeah, they do try to explain it a bit -- it's another one of those "oh we keep aggregate demographics but there's no way, ever, it could be traced back to you; only we control the magical ability to target pizza ads to you after you search on 'pepperoni'" things. And not only don't I believe them either, it's beside the point. It's so prima facie wrong that it's almost unbelievable.
