Thank you for spending the time to assess the validity of the claimed result, and for taking the time to explain it to us. This is a great example of the frequently poor quality of reported scientific studies.

So ironic that Jacques Mattheij's compelling piece about trackers appears immediately before this on HN right now. The linked Wired article about the Media Lab cannot be viewed if you are using an ad blocker. Bye, Wired.

Hahaha, I looked at the article first, then came to see the comments after I read that I was wrong about the one on the right. Why are the flyers on top of a black bar? Is that Times New Roman? Are we putting borders around our images again

I only paid one up-front fee of about $10.00. It isn't subscription-based. That is stated quite clearly on the home page. Be sure you go to http://pinboard.in/ and not one of their rivals.

I love pinboard! I started out with delicious until it got bought and got weird, then I moved to Google bookmarks but it's so crude. I need something that follows me on every machine. The magick is in being able to add tags.
