More On DoubleClick -- 2:24 pm CST, Update by A.T. Hun

This article on CNet should be enough to convince those who haven't disabled cookies on their browser to do so immediately. DoubleClick is watching you.
In the case of Intuit, information that users were typing into Quicken.com's mortgage and credit-assessment calculators, including a person's annual salary and total assets, were being sent to DoubleClick.
Nice, eh? Fortunately the Feds are beginning to investigate DoubleClick's "practices".
The Federal Trade Commission is currently holding an inquiry to determine whether DoubleClick is unlawfully collecting data on consumers' surfing and shopping habits on the Net and then selling the information to third-party advertisers.
If charges are brought and they are found guilty, who else thinks they should bring back draw-and-quartering for such an occasion? I thought so!
