If it were opt-in then nobody would because most people probably don't know that this tracking is going on, the ones that do probably don't want to be tracked and who would actually ask company's to track everything they do without some sort of rewards scheme that directly benefits the people opting in.

"As this case shows, criminals can't hide online and are being held to account for their actions. A complex investigation like this demonstrates what international cooperation can achieve," said Detective Constable Bob Burls of the UK Police Central e-Crime Unit (PCeU), neatly ignoring the fact that few online criminals are ever caught and it has taken over four years to sentence Anderson.

I also use my phone as an alarm clock but because I want to have snes music wake me up in the morning. It's also replaced my MP3 player so I really use it for everything besides communicating with others. I don't even send 100 texts in a month so its not really a phone to me, more like a music player/alarm clock

Submission + - Help me build my beginner's electronics inventory

ElectricMayhem writes: I am a beginner in the electronics world. I have a breadboard. I have a multimeter. I have a few resistors and a LED that I picked up from Radio Shack. But now I'm ready to expand. I've seen lots of beginning hobby kits that have a lot of components in it along with some general directions on how to do different projects. But these usually also usually include a large project board and unnecessary large pieces of hardware specific to the kit's projects.

If I were to make one large order from a place like mousers.com, what would you recommend I have on hand for upcoming learning projects? I just learned about capacitors and have realized that I have no idea on what components I will need in the future. What are the components that you can't do without in your projects? Help me build my beginning inventory.
