arstechnica.com — When you join an online "community," are you joining so that you can interact with like-minded users, or so that companies can track your every move on the Internet? Sears is banking on the latter, despite heavy criticism from security researchers.

It is too bad. Sears used to kick ass!<a class="user" href="http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1908-1914.htm">http://www.searsarchives.com/homes/1908-1914.htm</a>Check the prices. Now a restored 'Sears' home in a good neighborhood can add 100K to the value. Funny.

"web sites were found to be installing software to track users' every online move—all without their knowledge"Yeah, anyone who is stupid enough to trust some random plugin deserves it. You know that alert that says "You will be infected with some s**t" actually is telling you that you are going to be infected with some crap. --without their knowledge, my ass!

They had a device that automatically gave a fake identity to sites like this with a plug in to a firefox browser. Haven't seen much more of it though. <a class="user" href="http://www.tdsupplies.com">http://www.tdsupplies.com</a>
