YOUR COMPUTER & BIG BROTHER'S LATEST:

When years ago 'The Times' published information about Clinton's emails being tapped, and by whom, a couple of things must have been obvious, and an
eyeopener to those who didn't know yet - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/cjokw

So, please do keep in mind, that ALL - repeat ALL - firms like Microsoft etc. since their start have been closely cooperating with the intelligence crooks.

And the communications are in the hands of you know who.

In 99.99 % of the cases your computer is an open book to them. Including the iMacs. It's all built in, and we must pay for it.

AND IT REALLY DOESN'T MATTER IF YOU 'BELONG TO A GROUP' OR NOT.

"Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user.

If you belong to ANY Yahoo Groups - be aware that Yahoo is now using "Web Beacons" to track every Yahoo Group user.

It's similar to cookies, but allows Yahoo to record every website and every group you visit, even when you're not connected to Yahoo.

Look at their updated privacy statement at - Url.:
http://privacy.yahoo.com/privacy .

About half-way down the page, in the section on cookies, you will see a link that says WEB BEACONS.

Click on the phrase "Web Beacons." On the page that opens, find a paragraph entitled "Outside the Yahoo Network."

In that section find a little "Click Here to Opt Out" link, that will let you "opt-out" of their snooping. Be careful NOT! to click on the next button shown.

It is an "Opt Back In" button that, if clicked, will UNDO the opt-out.

Note that Yahoo's invasion of your privacy - and your ability to opt-out of it - is not user-specific. It is MACHINE specific. That means you will have to opt-out on every computer (and browser) you use.

PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO YOUR OTHER GROUPS. YOU MIGHT COMPLAIN, TOO, BUT I'M NOT SURE IF ANYONE IS LISTENING...

Yahoo's current privacy policy is causing consternation among some users who object to their use of so-called 'web beacons'. Known in most circles as web bugs, these invisible images are embedded in websites and email and used to track your surfing - and even tell whether you've opened a particular email.

Internet: Horie's try to a hostile take over of more media and thus brainwashing possibilities in Japan:

NEWSMAKER-Japan Internet CEO Horie has high-profile woes

By Linda Sieg

TOKYO, Jan 17 (Reuters) - Japan's Takafumi Horie, the brash Internet entrepreneur known as the "T-shirt clad CEO", is in a bind -- and many old-style business executives may well be glad.

Dozens of investigators raided the headquarters of Horie's company, Internet portal Livedoor Co. <4753.T>, as well as his home, on Monday on suspicion of violating securities laws." - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/7lz3q

Other quote: " While the maverick emerging from the obscurity of the Internet world is just following the law of economy, as is often true with "Jewish or Anglo-Saxon ways" of conducting themselves, what is really at issue here is a sense of responsibility to serve the public interests." - Url.: http://tinyurl.com/bqplo
