Ref tagging of that nature is not designed to track what page someone is coming from (which is what the HTTP referrer header gives you), but rather to track where users are clicking on the page. Did they go to their home page by clicking on the logo, or by clicking somewhere else? This can be useful usability data.

If you install a piece of software, you click through an agreement. You are party to a contract(-ish thing, to get technical).
Here's my question. Most EULAs include a clause to the effect of "by clicking Agree, you agree to the terms of this license". Suppose I choose not to agree with that clause? Suppose I say to myself, "By clicking Agree, I agree to nothing in particular". Can the software's copyright holder do anything, legally, to prevent my use of the software? It seems to me that they cannot, although I am not well-versed in the intricacies of contract law.

Submission + - DS wi-fi homebrew ventures where Nintendo doesn't

VonSnouty writes: Besides garage-coded Wi-Fi games like Omalone and DS Doom, Pocket Gamer's DS Homebrew Review this month gives a heads-up on WFCStatus, a neat app that enables you to check who's playing what on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Wonder why Nintendo doesn't offer such functionality itself?
