alt="" height="75" width="140">One of the big
news items this week was the resignation of CIA
Director Gen. David Petraeus after the FBI
monitored his emails and found evidence of an
affair. Monitoring an individual's emails may not
seem out of line when the person is under formal
investigation, as was the case with Gen. Petraeus.
But monitoring emails, cell phones, and other
electronic communication happens more often than
you might think, and sometimes for disturbing
reasons.

spy in your inbox</a> (Ars Technica/Sean
Gallagher) "Using graphics to collect metrics is
an old hack, going back to the 'sprites' used on
many early personal Web pages to track page
views. Web request based tracking is also
heavily used by both legitimate large-scale
e-mailers and spam factories to collect
information such as when and where e-mails are
opened, and to test the 'hit rate' for various
subject lines and offer teases. But
ContactMonkey gets even more personal about it,
because it identifies each recipient explicitly,
and reports back directly on them."</li>

difference that the patent suggests is that the
content would be licensed on a per-user-view
basis, so that, for example, a maximum of four
people could watch a movie. The patent goes on
to suggest that the computing device itself
enforce limits on the number of people that
could view the movie or game. If the number of
viewers exceeds the limit, the viewers could be
asked to re-license the movie - paying more for
the privilege, one can assume - or risk it being
blocked or shut down."</li>

'unacceptable'</a> (Computerworld/Gregg
Keizer) "The letter was the harshest criticism
yet by the advertising industry of Do Not Track
in general and Microsoft's position with IE10
specifically. The ANA [Association of National
Advertisers] used phrases like 'fundamentally
bad for consumers,' 'undermines consumer
interest' and 'cheat society' in its missive.
Essentially, the ANA argued that if advertisers
could not track users on the Web - and then use
that information to deliver targeted online ads
to them - the Internet as it's now known would
vanish."</li>

$50 for a listing of all the cell phones that
interacted with a given cell phone tower at a
specific time.
