But they don't cost me actual real money both in terms of bandwidth costs and psychological cost (tracking induces paranoia which curbs my thought, which adjusts my online search behaviour, for one example). Printed adverts in a newspa

Here's a counter argument; just because you can throw clickbait articles up onto a website doesn't give you the right to rape my personal details for your personal profit. Quite simply, produce something of value and you won'

What utter tosh! Layoffs just inspires the remaining staff to update their CV and start looking around. Layoff are the result of incompetent management, and nobody wants to work for a company staffed with incompetent managers.

From a users perspective Do Not Track should have been a opt-out process, as in all users are protected by default and can white list sites. In that scenario Ms and IE were right. It was the obvious reaction by the ad industry to this that

If you put something out there for consumption on a public forum in a medium that allows me to determine how I consume it, then you are a fool if you believe you have any say in how I do consume it. You don't have any control in this m

My personal problem with these types of charts that they attempt to present the "raw" data and expect me to sift through it to find the interesting stuff. It is my understanding that originally bar charts and their like we're

I especially like the concept in that video: "A building is not something you finish, it is something you start" This is no more truer than with software. Anyone who has had to write in-house software will appreciate that sentimen

I am under no illusions that Apple keeps this information. I've opted out of iAds so I know that my data is not being used against me, and Apple do not sell my data to third-parties. To be clear, Spotify using my habits and data to imp

It appears that the privacy policy makes several references to advertising. I pay money so I don't receive any advertising, so Spotify make no money from me that way. The part that concerns me is that my data can now be sold to someone

Is this for real? I pay £10 a month to avoid this crap and now I'm lumped in as well? Screw this, I'm off to Apple Music.
