  1. http://news.yahoo.com/creepiest-internet-tracking-tool-yet-virtually-impossible-block-170017224.html Internet users who are actively trying to make sure their online activity isn’t tracked by websites or government agencies should know there’s an even creepier tracking tool out there used by a variety of websites, “from WhiteHouse.gov to YouPorn,” as ProPublica puts it, that’s almost impossible to block. Called “canvas fingerprinting,” the tool built by AddThis instructs web browsers to create a hidden, unique image that can be used to track the user’s movements from site to site – much like a fingerprint – in order to deliver better targeted ads. The technology began testing earlier this year as a way to replace website cookies. Canvas fingerprinting has been first observed by researchers at Princeton University and KU Leuven University in Belgium, who wrote a paper on it, and it’s apparently very difficult to block. The online tools that prevent online tracking can’t fight this particular type of technology, so don’t go to AdBlock Plus hoping that your problems will be solved. Incognito modes available on browsers are also not able to protect the user’s privacy by avoiding canvas fingerprinting, which means that parties using the technology will still be able to track users who think they’re safe behind incognito browser features. There’s currently no tool that will offer a hassle-free way of blocking canvas fingerprinting, butGizmodo offers various ways of trying to fight it. Users can either use Tor, install a NoScript Firefox extension, download and use the Chameleon browser or blocking JavaScript from a browser altogether, but either choice may also offer a worse Internet browsing experience. AddThis told ProPublica that so far it has used the data obtained from its technology only from internal research and development, and that an AddThis opt-out cookie exists, and can be installed in order to stop AddThis from using data for ad targeting and personalization. The company has apparently rolled out the feature to a “small portion of the 13 million websites on which its technology appears,” without notifying websites about it. The company also said the technique is not “uniquely identifying enough,” adding that it won’t use tracking data from governmental sites for ad purposes. In a follow-up comment, a YouPorn representative said the company was not aware of the tracking feature, and that AddThis technology has now been removed upon discovery of the canvas fingerprinting tracking feature.

    A funny thing happen to me 2-day

    for a few weeks now Google chrome has really been pissing me off one way or another *it was my own fault come to find out not chrome* so any way i get up this morning got to my mail and low and behold i have a email saying. Hi Ghost, Someone recently used your password to try to sign in to your Google Account****************** This person was using an application such as an email client or mobile device. We prevented the sign-in attempt in case this was a hijacker trying to access your account. Please review the details of the sign-in attempt: Friday, July 11, 2014 7:13:59 AM UTC IP Address: 108.0.8.142 (pool-108-0-8-142.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) Location: Temecula, CA, USA If you do not recognize this sign-in attempt, someone else might be trying to access your account. You should sign in to your account and reset your password immediately. needless to say i was happy that it was prevented but it got me to wondering how and when did this start? so as i,m sitting here drinking my coffee and scratching my head i started going over what have i done within the last few days/weeks that is new? downloaded a few movies/a few games/ a new browser ------wait a minute did i just say a new browser? hmmm did this new browsers hold any of my user names? of course it did ..... did this new browsers hold any of my passwords? well yes but some of them did not want to take which by not take i mean i put in my user name and password a on a few sites and had to keep repeating the process every-time i went back to those,s sites. now i know i,m going to get a lot of jive from you people that run this browser that i,m going to name . but before i get to that let me say this i have been on the net for a very long time i was on the net when it was mainly mirc i know this is really showing my age here but i was using win 3.0 on dial-up and thought i was king of the world lol .and in all of that time as the internet grew as did my knowledge of it. i have a lot of programs to help prevent this type of thing from happening so why and how did it happen? after a few hours of going threw my programs to make sure that nothing was out of place *which they wasn,t everything is up to date* i mean this person whom ever they was managed to get one of my many passwords which all have been changed. so like i was saying what is new that holds passwords? this new browser that i downloaded from the official website? so i know your saying well what is it? http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ i know there are going to be alot of people that is going to say nooooo it was something else. i,m just saying i have never ever had this happen before till now that really sucks to because i was looking for something new but it seems to me that what i had was working i just didn,t know it just thought i would share this little bit of my day with you

    Modem / Router problems

    glad to hear you loaded a new load of os that eliminates all programs that you may have loaded so now it boils down to hardware so at least it narrows it down--- now if it was me like i said before i would take my stuff to a friends or kin folks house and set it up and see if it happens there if it does then that tells you that your place is clean. next step after that try a new modem either borrowed or a new one just an ideal hope it helps p.s captain nemo your input is always welcome as is anyone's like my granddad always said: there is no such thing as a stupid question but there sure are alot of stupid answers

    Modem / Router problems

    ok now that we know what os you are using my next step would be to load a clean load on a pc *if you have the know how * the reason i say this is to make sure that it is not a software issue outside of the os *like windows 7* like a firewall or anti virus program. if you load a clean os and still have problems then i would start thinking about what has changed sense this started happening like did you have any new elec. work done? i had a friend that put in a wet-bar and suddenly he couldn,t pickup WiFi in his kitchen something about the type of wiring they *the electricians*had used. it interfered with the WiFi signal just enough to make it to weak to pick up in there. next borrow /buy a new wifi get 1 from walmart try it out if it acts up keep ur reciept and take it back to walmart that will tell you if it is ur wifi. option two do you have a friend where you can go to their house and use all of ur stuff there? the reason i say this did anyone build anything new close to ur house like a new sub elec station/radio station/has anyone start using a ham radio? just a few ideals hope this gets you down the right path good luck
  6. Got arrested at the airport last week. Apparently, security doesn't appreciate it when you call "shotgun" before boarding a plane. I always wondered why The Muppets had such large protruding eyes. I then realized that if I had a hand shoved up my ass my eyes would do the same. What's the point in blurring out the middle finger on television? Like, oh you fooled me, what's behind that blur? An umbrella? An elephant?
  7. I didn't sleep very good last night. So this morning I put Monster energy drinks in my coffee... I was half way to work when I realized I forgot my car.

    man in the moon

    This young lady, a flighty young thing, got a job cleaning the bank windows in the evening after the bank closed for business. Anyway, she was up this ladder, cleaning good and proper and as she was in the habit of wearing no knickers, every young man who would come along would stop and stare for a second or two. But this evening an old geezer came along and stayed looking. "What are you looking at" she said. "I'm looking at the moon" he said. "Well, if you were here last night, you would have seen a man in it" she said.

    working like a dog

    It had taken him several months, but the executive vice president had finally persuaded his new secretary to bend over the back of his leather couch and allow him to have sex with her that way. "And just where have you been until this hour?" demanded his wife, when the wayward husband finally arrived home. "Down at the office," he replied, "working like a dog."

    a set of false teeth

    A Pastor goes to the dentist for a set of false teeth. The first Sunday after he gets his new teeth, he talks for only eight minutes. The second Sunday, he talks for only ten minutes. The following Sunday, he talks for 2 hours and 48 minutes. The congregation had to mob him to get him down from the pulpit and they asked him what happened. The Pastor explains the first Sunday his gums hurt so bad he couldn't talk for more than 8 minutes. The second Sunday his gums hurt too much to talk for more than 10 minutes. But, the third Sunday, he put his wife's teeth in by mistake and he couldn't shut up. (I love it when I make you smile ... and I KNOW you are smiling!)

  20. The new nun goes to her first confession. She tells the priest that she has a terrible secret and he tells her that her secret is safe in the sanctity of the confessional. She says, "Father, I never wears panties under my habit." The priest chuckles and says, "That's not so serious. Say five Hail Marys, five Our Fathers and do five cartwheels on your way to the altar.

    Rabbi on holiday

    A Jewish congregation in New York honors its Rabbi for 25 years of service by sending him to Hawaii for a week, all expenses paid. When he walks into his hotel room, there's a beautiful girl, nude, lying on the bed. She says, "Hi, Rabbi, I'm a little something extra that the president of the board arranged for you." The Rabbi is incensed. He picks up the phone, calls the President of the Temple Board and says, "Greenberg, what were you thinking? Where's your respect? I am the moral leader of our community! I am very angry with you and you have not heard the end of this." The girl gets up and starts to get dressed. The Rabbi turns to her and says, "Where are you going? I'm not angry with you."

    be kind to sheep

    Farmer Petrovich is whipping and slapping his sheep when the local minister comes walking around the corner. The minister says, "My, Farmer Petrovich, you're certainly giving that sheep a beating. You wouldn't do that to your wife, would you?" The farmer says, "I would if she farted and jumped sideways every time I tried to mount her!
