NPR Report: <How Well Do Tech Companies Protect Your Data From Snooping?>
Don't usually put much stock in 'consumer' news but this report is supposedly based on work by the Electornic Freedom Foundation plus info from ars technica. No body is doing everything they could (In my opinion, <Twit> doesn't count as an information provider rolleyes.gif ). There's still too much "working on it". wink.gif

Fact remains, if you provide it, they will use it... and others will try 'borrow' it! wallbash.gif

Here's a two-part story I wanted to hear... now I'll just read it. <Project Eavesdrop: An Experiment At Monitoring My Home Office>

I'm thinking that the best idea is fictionalizing our data so essentially they have "NOTHING!"  I'm leaning towards being 38 year old female winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature!
