Wow, I'm amused about how many people replied to this article without actually having read the site. Jay's a good friend of mine, I know he wouldn't log the actual keys. Besides, when you go to the Privacy Policy on the page (Yes, you can visit the mentioned sites! What wonder!), it mentions what Pulse will and won't do:
It is the intent of Pulse to transmit the following information to dolphin.bitdevil.com on a basis whose periodicity is decided by the user through Pulse's configuration menus:
- user's account name as provided by user
- user's password for Project Dolphin as provided by user
- one integer that represents the total number of keys typed since last contact with dolphin.bitdevil.com for the same purpose
- the current time (represented by the number of seconds elapsed since midnight, 1 Jan 1970 UTC), according to the system clock on the user's computer
What it is guaranteed Pulse does not record, collect, or transmit to this server or any other destination:
- which keys the user types, with exception to the analysis of the very last key hit, in order to decide if it is a key that "counts" as a key being hit
- the contents of the user's hard drive or any other attached or internal or external storage device that may hold any type of data
- anything on the user's screen
So, for the benefit of the lazy people who can't be bothered to actually read the important information on a product's website, there you go - the important bits of the privacy policy.
Oh, can I get your addresses? I'd like to send you a hard-copy of the link on a big fscking piece of clue-by-four.
Jesus.
hey! i'm canadian! we are not a communist country. we're a democracy (even the liberal party!) with socialist programs. sweden (i think) is a highly socialist country. red china is communist. we pick our own leader through a first-past-the-post election. trust me - we're a democracy.
You can modify the way IE represents its UA. I was poking around in the registry a few weeks ago. You can edit just about anything. My titlebar now reads 'MSN Blocks Mozilla, Other Browsers - Wherever you go, there you are - Buckaroo Banzi' - no mention of Internet Exploiter at all. I can't remember the exact key you have to modify, but I think it's HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Windows/Curre ntVersion/Internet Explorer or something.

And, of course, a googolplex is a googol of googols. If I did my math right back in the day, it's a one followed by ten thousand zeroes.
