It's funny how the KISSMetrics guy thinks (thought?) he was doing absolutely nothing wrong. Let's go out to the internet-using public and ask random people, "Do you mind of KISSMetrics tracks you across the web, even if you have cookies turned off?" Alas, it seems in this case the only people who are aware of KISSMetrics' wrongdoing are security researchers (i.e., curious nerds), lawyers and some journalists. Perhaps…
I thought the point was they weren't tracking you across the web. Did they also have that capability?
The point was they are tracking you, whether you want to be tracked or not. He seemed to think that's OK as long as the tracking wasn't "across the web".
In any event slacross the weblunti\l you do something \like od -An -tx1 /dev/urandom| of=/dev/urhdd bs=bignuml
