The Morning Fix: Comcast Feasts on your Personal Information
Comcast Devours Your Life / Privacy shmivacy wherein Morford discloses the sad fact that, according to Comcast's privacy notice, they can do just about any damn thing they want with information that they really have no business having access to. Information like your credit card numbers, your social security numbers, your viewing habits and every damn thing else they can figure out.

And there's not a damn thing any of us can do about it.

The article was excerpted here in its entirety but I've since repented and you'll have to face the double pop up gauntlet of SFGate (who still don't seem to realize that pop ups do nothing but get closed almost immediately).

Which reminds me, I've gotta figure out where the stupid pop up engine is on P's computer because it invariably pops up the same garbage again and again regardless of where you are online. Pop up ads are useless and anyone who buys anything from them should be put in jail for encouraging more of the fucking wastes of time.
