Xerox is spying on you!

"Xerox says it can determine demographic information such as your age, sex and perhaps even your income by analysing the pattern of pages you choose to access on the web and comparing them to a database of surfing patterns from other users with a known background."

By "the pattern of pages you choose to access", I think they mean the "cookies" you have. As you know, web sites can browse your cookies to see if you are a returning user. But, with Xerox's new software, they can now analyse all your cookies as well.

I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting a little sick of the ads reading me, instead of the other way around!

That's pretty creepy though, but it isn't hard to keep only select cookies and none others.
