Sometimes I do my own laundry and sometimes I don't :P - But I'd like to address the tracking issue. I saw that when it came out. I have built a lot of websites and still occasionally do and consult to builders from time to time. ( Amongst other things ) So these trackers are framed into the site and arrive in some of the ads. Soda uses ads to make money. The cookies in question don't deliver info to Soda unless they made a deal with them to do so and I would highly doubt that is part of the deal. Soda is free to users and has to make money to pay for the site. I don't begrudge sites for doing things that I know when I arrive at them that they might do. The problem is most people don't know what sites do behind the scenes. There is lots of money to be made aggregating, tracking and selling info. Very simple sites that you would never suspect, like many of the word press blogs and etc also frame in ads that use these flash cookies. And there are MANY more than the ones noted in this article. You can take control of your being tracked in this area by using fire fox and installing a free add on called better privacy. ( I tried to add the link but soda won't allow https links - so just google Firefox add on better privacy) Where at the end of any browsing session you can have it ...

Not all flash cookies are bad and some are helpful to the navigation of sites. I highly recommend using this freebie however. I don't like flash cookies to be saved unless I am using a site that needs to aggregate my previous time spent there for a specific reason such as I put items in a shopping cart that will save for 24 hrs - but if I delete the flash cookie I will lose the cart. Or many game sites will keep your previous progress for you until you delete the flash cookies - in which case you will start all over. These are just two examples of how flash cookies may benefit some users. The other side of the coin is where there is no benefit to anyone but those who placed the cookie. Hope this helps.

On sodahead I voice my opinion about the government and the idiots who make decisions that affect our daily lives and I don't care who knows how i feel.
Hey...you there...NSA...you suck just as much as the rest of the federal government. Just like a bunch of hapless idiots.
I read in DNA Pirates of the Scacred Sprial by Dr. Len Horowitz that the Bush family and Bin Ladin Family both held stock in the same BIO PORT company that made anthrax. Back in the 90's the company was broken into and anthrax was stolen. YES.... this is true The company was located in MY HOME TOWN... of Lansing MI it since closed but I remember the news event like it was yesterday. When the company was being courted by the state commerse department as a foot in the door of alternative technologies as a way to diversify Michigan so we would not be so dependent on the auto industry bio technology was being likened unto the silicone valley of California. WELL THAT FELL FLAT ON IT S FACE after the break in.
When I read that I started to CONNECT THE DOTS
this seems to be common knowledge ...HIDDEN IN PLAIN VIEW LOLOL
AND LET ME TELL YOU ....I am not that smart lolol
