These reports reveal again the existence and some workings of the information economy behind the Internet and World Wide Web. (All that content didn’t put itself there, y’know!) The discussion centers around “tracking” of web users, particularly through the use of “cookies.” Cookies are little text files that web sites offer your browser when you visit. If your browser accepts the cookie, it will share the content of the text file back with that domain when you visit it a second time. Often cookies have distinct strings of characters in them, so the site can recognize you. Sites use cookies to customize your experie...

Instead, the Washington Post’s headline says “U.S. Web-Tracking Plan Stirs Privacy Fears.” The story is about the reversal of an ill-conceived policy adopted nine years ago to limit the use of cookies on federal Web sites. A cookie is a short string of text that a server sends a browser when the browser accesses a Web page. Cookies allow servers to recognize returning users so they can serve up customized, relevant content, including tailored ads. Think of a cookie as an eyeball – who do you want to be able to see that you visited a Web site? Your browser lets you control what happens with the cookies offered by the sites you visit. You can issue a blanket refusal of all cookies, you can accept all cookies, and you can decide which cookies to acc...

I’ve been using Scribefire, as it’s so convenient. All I have to do is whip up one post, then post it to multiple sites with one click. However there has been some rumblings, especially in the land of the PCs. Poor things, always need so much help. My first bit of advice is DUMP EXPLORER forever. There are so many other fabulous alternatives. Firefox is my default, however I’m starting to really love some of the latest Beta release of Opera, complete with Widgets. It’s a little buggy still, so I’d watch out for now. Unfortunately, as with e... acidrefluxweb.com blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=2584358 Wed, 08 Jul 2009 15:12:57 +0100 2584358 http://www.medworm.com/index.php?rid=1192815&cid=t_219770_132_f&fid=35024&url=http%3A%2F%2Ffeeds.feedburner.com%2F%7Er%2FBlindscientist%2F%7E3%2F226803564%2F Last week I registered to use a large online database. So far, so good, I started checking out what I was able to do, how to get data, the whole nine yards. Until I checked the main page with the list of entries. I noticed that Firefox wasn’t showing the vertical scroll-bar so, evidently, I wasn’t able to scroll down and up the page to check for entries. Problems like this happen when the scroll-bar is attached to a div instead of being set for the whole page. As a diligent user I dug for the web admin email address and sent a short message with the possible error, including a couple of screenshots, one from “buggy” Firefox and another from Konqueror (which displayed the page with no problem). I also mentioned that Firefox under Linux and Windows had problems showi...

Now I sit down in front of my laptop to read, and get up mid-story if I hear Charlie calling—-and, inevitably, much of what I read is through the lens of Charlie, and of autism. For example: Eating gluten-free in NYC has gotten easier. (Though I think Charlie, who is more or less on the diet at home, and less or more on it when we eat out, is quite content with his favorite New York food emporium.) People are “most likely to become obese when a friend becomes obese“: Maybe it is not such a bad thing to have a differently functioning mirror neuron system, as some researchers say autistic persons do—imitation is not always exactly the b...

Be forewarned, some parts are R-rated, but that's what you came for, right? Half of the people surveyed say they have difficulty relaxing during sex. Only 19% say that plain awkwardness due to diabetes is more distracting than any physical changes. Dr.Grace Beltran (Amazing Grace) describes the Anatomy of a Female Orgasm quite clearly. She says: sensorial impulses shoot up your spinal cord to special parts of your brain called the sensory cortex and the limbic system (the emotional brain), which is when you experience the euphoria of reaching Mt. Orgasmus. Many diabetes drugs can cause B vit... The Diabetes Blog blogs http://www.medworm.com/rss/comments.php?id=601909 Thu, 10 May 2007 04:00:00 +0100 601909
