Threaten ?
It’s not a threat, it’s a cost saving plan. Eliminate cookies and replace them with a uniform tracking ID that works and is exchanged cross platform automatically.
This will fit in nicely with the latest login security concepts where your ‘profile’ is recognized by hardware/software that’s already commonly available on the XBOX KINNECT. Your VISUAL PROFILE is recognized and then linked to a cloud based cookie jar that has your name on it.
Ain’t it kool ?

I have a Tracphone rather than a ‘regular’ cell phone. I’m wondering, with all the NSA tracking, how they handle this sort of phone since it isn’t associated with an account. Of course, I’m sure they can break into whatever lists of contacts are on the phone somehow ..... I’m waiting for them to outlaw phones where you don’t have to have an account with personal, identifying info.

I always ignore that The Spite House switchboard number is (202) 456-1414.
Just saying...

No, I mean when gmail asks for a phone number, give ‘em one. Your local newspaper editor’s, The mayor, The occupier, dial a prayer, the sewage treatment plant, something.

I'm sure the Stasi will appreciate the identifier as well.That's the really scary thing. But, I rather think they already have me tracked by device urls anyway, at home, work or mobile.

Scru em.
That’s one you can’t make up. They send a confirmation text message to the number you use. :-(

I used to work for the Law Enforcement Relations department at a large cell phone company. When working with the DEA I found out the trakfones are hugely popular with drug dealers. They go through a lot of ‘em, throwing them away at pretty regular intervals.
You can only track the phone based on who the person calls and receives calls from. Every time you throw it away and get a new one, you are a “new entity”. The old one is “dead”.

Very interesting ... thanks!

There was rumor of someone crushing a No-Doze caffeine tab into coffee brewed my way.
I have not heard tell of the results.
