The 2o7 cookie.

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

I started blocking cookies, just for fun, and was amazed how many sites try to give me a 207.net cookie!

This article was interesting, but not as interesting as one of the comments from the author:

Plus, if you think the ads are selling products, you’re sadly mistaken. The ads are selling you to the companies that make the products. You are the product. I find that offensive.

He did go on a bit of a rant however, about his electricity bill, which kind of ruined it.  But I like the idea of realising that your anonymity is long-gone, and your browsing habits are a product, and someone if profiting from them.

Maybe someone in the ad industry would like to comment?

WPtouch: Mobile Theme for WordPress

Installed this: WPtouch: Mobile Plugin + Theme for WordPress from BraveNewCode.

Tried to test it with testiphone.com but they are not sending the right agent string. This site however is cool – it will create iPhone-y icons.  Heh – iPhoney… someone should register that….

So, tested with Firefox and the about:config trick described here.  Be sure to blank out any other *.useragent.* strings you find in their as well, which definitely voids all warranties.

Anyone with a real iPhone care to tell me how it looks?
