Face Book and the Creepy Ex-CoWorker + Yahoo and PDF Adds!!!

Columnist Cory Doctorow describes how Facebook and other social networks have built-in self-destructs: They make it easy for you to be found by the people you're looking to avoid.
.....ON Information Week

From SlashDot

A new channel (is being) opening up between advertisers and our eyeballs: PDFs with context-sensitive text ads. The service is called "Ads for Adobe PDF Powered by Yahoo" and it goes into public beta today. The "ad-enabled" PDFs are served off of Adobe's servers. The article mentions viewing them in Acrobat or Reader but doesn't mention what happens when a non-Adobe PDF reader is used.

To both of you I say...
SAY NO TO MENTAL POLLUTION.
JUST GIVE US VRM!!
