Yesterday i found some interesting news-item about "Browser Fingerprinting"

Even without cookies, it seems to be possible to identify a lot of users uniquely by other client data.

You can visit the project description here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-theory-and-privacy
To test if they can identify your browser uniquely among hundreds of thousands visit this url:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/

The site is a bit slow atm, but it`s a quite interesting project Smile

My browser seems to be unique \o/

The geeks shall inherit the properties and methods of object earth.
