You mean that little graphic at the bottom of Maledoro's posts?  Or something else?

Yep.

What's the point?  It's the interwebz.

It's just a funny thing on the internet. It's been round a while. Nothing to worry about.

I have a stat counter on my blog. It tags posters and -- if I want to check -- gives their ISP, OS, browser, location to the nearest node; it offers a map, how many times they've visited, how long they stayed, and all sorts of other things: where they came from, the path they used, search engines. I don't put this info up, but I can access it.

Since anybody with a web page or blog can use this kind of program, and since anybody who surfs leaves tracks unless they use a masking program like Vidalia's onion and Tor, or some commercial service that misdirects, the idea of Big Brother watching you isn't much of a surprise. I was just wondering why anybody bothered to stick up notice.

There's a built-in camera in the graphic.


You know those "watermark" network logos that are on the lower-right corner of your TV screen? They can see you, too. Ask Griker; he knows.

I'm glad Griker posts here. While I may respect Mal or SM or SiL more, Griker makes me laugh. And that's a very important thing.
