Amazon is Big Brother, posted over on the Amazon Weblog shows us all one more reason to not use Windows. The fact that they’re installing Alexa things by default (which was under serious attack by privacy organizations since they launched) without telling anyone anything is typical of the Windows mentality. Netscape 4.x embedded Alexa stuff also, but they at least told you what it did, and how, before you downloaded the software. Not so with IE 6 SP 1. Beware the Redmond Machine.

If you’re reading this site via RSS, I apologize for the multiple postings of my “daily links”. I saw the bug earlier this week and through it’d fix itself, but it hasn’t.
I just made a few changes to the site code to try and shut down the errant postings… The problem is I’m not 100% sure where the postings are coming from, so hopefully, I’ve squashed the bug. If not, I’ll try something different tomorrow.
