DEATH OF THE COOKIE: How The Web's All-Seeing Tracking Device Could Meet Its End

www.businessinsider.com Jim Edwards 18 days ago

Cookies — the small pieces of code that websites drop onto your internet browser in order to track your activity, usually for advertisers — have gotten a bad rap recently. Apple, Microsoft and Mozilla (which makes the Firefox browser) now all plan to launch browsers with default settings rigged to reject cookies or to signal that the user does not want to be tracked. That's a threat to online advertising, which is largely dependent on cookies. Advertisers don't like launching ads without knowing what a web surfer wants to look at. A huge business has grown up around cookie-based ad... Read similar

www.businessinsider.com Dylan Love 66 days ago

A website called the Silk Road enables you to buy drugs as easily as you would buy an item on eBay.

When you pair this with Bitcoin, an anonymous digital currency that can be converted into real money, it opens a Pandora's box of sorts.
