QuoteThe study also detected code on sites maintained by Microsoft, YouTube, Yahoo and About.com that perform what the scientists called "behavioral sniffing." They employ JavaScript that covertly tracks mouse movements on a page to detect what a user does after visiting it.

I wonder what they think if I wave the mouse in a suggestive shape...  :whistle:
