What do you think ? :|

Actually the information they store can be easily obtained with a name and town.

As for tracking what a user likes, I'm all for it.

And one more... http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/1/13069.html :|

And even more: translated and summed up from an article that can be found here http://www.heise.de/newsticker/data/mbb-07.09.00-000/.
Prices differed depending on what browser they used. Sometimes Netscape users got things cheaper sometimes those using IE. WTF again !!! :|

Damn typos

I've never used Amazon.com before, and I've never wanted to. Guess my instincts weren't lying to me this time.

I don't believe the Amazon prices depended on the browser. I believe they gave you a random cookie that varied from 30%, 35%, 40% off. And unless you got rid of the (random) cookie your prices would always be based on the same cookie. So you could flush your cookies and try to get the 40% off one. At least that was my impression from the DVDtalk.com thread(s).

Maybe, but that's suck too !!! :|
