Next Flash Version Will Support Private Browsing

An anonymous reader writes "The world rolled its eyes when the problem of Flash cookies came to light several months ago. Even if you're careful about cookies or even if you use your browser's private surfing feature, sites can still track you through cookies stored by Flash. However, soon enough the next version of Flash, 10.1, will support private browsing and will integrate with browsers to turn it on when the browser itself is in private browsing mode. Browsers still store data during a private browser session, but they will delete it all at the end of the session. The same will be true of Flash private browsing."

I think the original was just missing quotes. I read it as

The world rolled, "It's eyes!" when the problem of Flash cookies came to light several months ago.

where they were using the 19th definition of rolled: 19. To make a sustained, trilling sound, as certain birds do. In other words, it was another way of saying they Tweeted it. Clearly they were referring to the fact that these cookies flashed a bright light, and were answering the question of the thing they affect. Their answer was "it is eyes!". Simple, really.

He has no wireless card, never plugs an ethernet cord into the slot, and never gives his compy to anyone else.

Meh. I hacked his computer twice. Once over Bluetooth, and then again over Infrared. All I found were secret plans of his to dominate the world - nothing unusual.
