No, I didn't miss that. Which, is why I asked. I didn't know if they could do the same for non-laptop items. A camera or a crate of potatoes, for instance.
I don't get your post. It's not a client thing. The browser simply says to the remote server, "this person does not want to be tracked". It's not buggy or broken. It's up to the remote server to honor it. That's all. Now.. the "idea" may be buggy or broken. Sure. But that's a different thing.
This doesn't claim to delete cookies or anything of the sort.
What's worse about this, is that it is implemented by an iframe. The "like" button is actually at facebook. bigfatsluts.com doesn't know anything about your facebook info, but, because you are logged in, and the facebook content knows what page it is being loaded into (the iframe source looks likes this: facebook.com/plugins/like.php?http://bigfatsluts.com/thehairiest.movie), facebook knows that you have visited the page.
The more sites that implement this, the more facebook is able to track your web browsing outside of facebook. I find this scary because Facebook has already proven that they would like to market to your friends using your data. Imagine this: "Hey Jim. Bob likes Big Hairy Sluts!! We thought you might like them too. Click here for Big Hairy Sluts." That may sound paranoid. But all the technology for it is in place. The only reason we are not seeing it is because Facebook hasn't implemented it. They certainly have the power to. That's granting them too much trust in my opinion.
I have yet to see a feature to disable this "facebook functionality on external sites" crap. I want facebook to honor the do not track. If everyone got riled up about it, Facebook might do so. Sadly, I'm just not seeing the "critical mass" of user outrage.
"Regulation of Bandwidth" and "Having More Available Bandwidth" are two separate concerns. Arguments for or against the prior should stand regardless of the latter. If only this were so.
Sure that cake looks great with IE, but slap any other browser on it, and the "C" in "Congratulations" will be smack dab in the middle of the cake with all of the other text oozing of the right onto the table.
If I am a musician selling music and am not a part of that cartel? And I don't want my music downloaded freely? Let me hear an argument how this would HELP musicians.
This is a common way for people to communicate. Facebook is going to be "linked to" everything as long as this is a fact.
In other news: Facebook is linked to 50% of parties. Facebook is linked to 80% of weddings. Facebook is linked to 100% of political. Facebook is linked to 65% of friendships. Facebook is linked to 90% of people liking stuff.
Here we are talking about it. How about we all just make a mental note to forget the name of the barber shop that did this, close the thread and carry on?

Clever, I agree. So clever, that I'd hardly call someone who falls for it a "sucker". Especially in that it was demonstrated to work in the store!

How does this differ from warrant-less searches of anything else when crossing US Borders (pockets, glove box, trunk, luggage, etc)?
Easy. Redefine Evil. That's innovation!
"Nobody asked for changes to the interface. The interface to Firefox was never broken and nobody complained about it."
Interesting. Care to qualify that statement?
And whether or not it gets wildly honored, if more people set the flag, it certainly sends a message and makes people aware that privacy is important.

Certainly it doesn't go to the people whose information was handled poorly. Are they even contacted?

No. No we should not.

Who will get the business?
Until they find out that this wonderfully Wonka-worthy craze-tastic compostable compound is biodegradable in anything... including soda pop!
Yes. As much as large budget Motion Pictures can be, anyway.
A few posts back "man arrested for linking to online videos."
If it will disable bass boomers in my neighborhood.

I'm interested in seeing how much DOM manipulation improves w/ Chrome 10.

And this is why I am pissing my life away.

I'd throw in CSS too in that case. I'm sure the biggest find would be "fuck" + "IE6"
