A Facebook engineer has made a statement saying there was not tracking involved in the "Update" section of this article: http://www.zdnet.com/blog/facebook/facebook-fixes-cookie-beh...

I don't believe Facebook is doing anything malicious, but it can never hurt to do a little investigation.

I thought it was general knowledge that the closed-source Chrome sends (some) data back to Google while the open-source Chromium does not.
Disclosure: I use Chrome (default) and IE9 (whenever Chrome fails).

I wonder how much of this whole brouhaha was staged.

Interesting that it took the launch of Google+ for Facebook to notice this extension.

Slimy | 15 years ago | on: Microsoft Bing Controls 30% Of Search Market, Google Slowly Sinking
Given that IE has always pushed Microsoft's search engine (previously Live Search, and previously to that MSN search), the logic here appears to be flawed. If anything, Microsoft has been giving users more options to switch their search engine in IE.
On the other hand, there is this data: http://www.techspot.com/news/43155-users-with-newer-ie-versi...
If you're too lazy to read the article, it suggests that newer versions of IE have more Bing usage, despite the fact that they let you switch your default search engine.
It seems that there are more IE users that previously did not use a default search engine and when they upgrade their browser, they end up using Bing because Microsoft sets it as the default.

I want Gruber to, just once, say something bad about Apple without immediately giving 10 reasons why the poor move was actually brilliant. He's a good writer, but I mean, come on.
