Been poking around The Register for a few minutes today. The Register is the United Kingdom's most sardonic and entertaining IT news source. Heck, it's probably the most entertaining one out there, period.

Today, the Register had two ominous items, both of them showing how we've been targeted for mass market assimilation. Specifically, Google is tracking our click behavior, and ISPs worldwide are looking at tracking us. Oh, sorry - they're not looking to track us: Just our behavior. That's the future of the 'net, folks. Get used to it:

Tim Berners-Lee sees such tracking as an invasion of privacy. So, does what he argues click with you?
