Facebook admits Beacon tracks logged-off users Posted: 9 months ago by steelshooter
Contradicts recent assurances by executives that ad service won't track off-site activities

Facebook tracks you, even after you log off, Even if you ask it not to. Then it gives that info to advertisers. Can you say "Spam Me".

An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural Posted: 1 year ago by steelshooter
When I decided to place the entire text of "An Encyclopedia of Claims, Frauds, and Hoaxes of the Occult and Supernatural" on the Internet, it was suggested to me that this could cut into the sales of the printed version. However, experience has shown that, in the publishing business, making a book available on the Internet only stimulates sales of the actual book! Another mystery.

Theme: A good tool for understanding supernatural claims. I like debunking pseudo-science!
