uBlock blocks these for me (note these are domains, so it's probably blocking more than 1 script from some of these):

addthis.com, adnxs.com, bing.com, crwdcntrl.net, disqus.com, disqusads.com, doubleclick.net, exelator.com, flagcounter.com, google-analytics.com, google.com, googlesyndication.com, statcounter.com

Allowing them triggers blocking another 2.

addthisedge.com, adsnative.com

Something focusing more on privacy would probably also pick up the 2 separate translators on the page that your already mentioned, along with pippio.com whatever that is.

Weird. I'm in the UK, and just chose the 'I want to cancel the order' option.

The email confirming my request and the email confirming the refund had been accepted literally arrived in the same minute.

Well, actually...

I have uBlock and Ghostery enabled in Safari, and this site didn't pick up either.

Mobile is exactly where you don't want to rely on this kind of fingerprinting. Especially on iOS, it's a platform with only one rendering engine and no plugins.

Here's what it managed to get from my iPhone 6[1]. This would be the same 'fingerprint' as virtually every iPhone 6 user in the UK.

"Buy a new computer so you can run our over engineered adverts properly."

At the very least adblockers will catch up.

As a story it was good, but as a game the backlash it received was fully justified.

It reused the same areas and assets to the extreme. You literally spent all your time running around the same 5 or 6 dungeon maps with different entrances and exits. The combat was repetitive and the constant waves of enemies appearing out of thin air removed any tactical positioning or clever conservation of abilities.

There were rumours the PS3 would use single use discs that locked themselves to a particular PS3 before it launched.

I'm sure advertisers would still pay the same rates for junk mail that nobody sees, and it wouldn't reduce the value of the junk mail to those advertisers.

Be careful with that, I had them do the same thing to me (after I asked them not to) and the goodwill suddenly ended after a few months. Took hours to get it sorted and refunded, and to top it off they put the flaming restriction back on!

Edit: I just checked, and it looks like it was removed again at some point, possibly when I renewed the contract? Ah well.

Interestingly, O2 seem to compress CSS as well. Had a client with a problem on a mobile site I just could not reproduce. Turns out it only happened when connected to O2s data network.

It's the carrier that disables tethering based on the network profile. An unlocked iPhone can tether just fine out of the box, until you put a SIM card in that doesn't allow it.

In cases like that I'd use the short url that Google provides (http://goo.gl/maps/4y1Xg). If Google is down then you can't view the map anyway.

Sites providing their own short urls isn't much of a problem as far as I can see.

And it breaks the back button when it does it.

I'm going to guess that the €700 figure is a reseller. It's £239 including 20% VAT in the UK, which works out to €300.

Of course it's not actually in stock, so carriers are charging £400 for it out of contract because they can.

The problem here is that it's not just a Chrome Developer account, it's a Google account. There may well be an automated process to lockout users that owe them money.

Steam has a similar flaw. If you file a chargeback on any game you purchase then you'll be locked out of every game you ever 'bought' until you resolve the issue.

Apps like 1Password sell an app, the online sync can be through whatever service you want, 1Password already got paid.

Evernote/LastPass/Xmarks make their money selling the service, why would they use DropBox instead and essentially put themselves out of business.

Also, didn't Dropbox just buy some music company? Expect music locker based antics soon.

Just tried deleting a photo, and it looks like they remove the image straight away in that case: http://distillery.s3.amazonaws.com/media/2010/10/08/92944289...

Hopefully it just takes a little time when deleting the account to go through and delete the individual photos, but I'll be deleting the individual photos before I delete my account to be safe.

That's mostly because they're harder to get rid of than Scottish currency. Only the major supermarkets seem to accept them.

Recently became required by the EU for all websites to notify users of cookies, so don't expect the notifications to go away. Better implementations don't move content around the page though.
