It’s sad when you see stories like this, and while I’m not shocked that this came from China (again), I’m amazed that these people feel absolutely nothing for these animals.

I guess there’s a reason why the Chinese are one of the only ethnic groups in the world who worship a Money God - greed. I’m almost ashamed to be Chinese in this respect.

Looking at these majestic tigers reduced to skin and bones, and reading about how they are mistreated and underfed just makes me fume. If the conditions of the tigers on show are already so appalling, I just wonder about those kept in the dark, in the small concrete enclosures!

It’s just so… sad. Maybe like someone said, there really is only one species that truly deserves to be extinct.

Kinda true, don’t you think? I’ll just buy mine off iTunes, tho, when the stupid iTunes store decides to open in Singapore.

I was pretty shocked when a colleague (thanks Steven!) forwarded me this. Looks like for the really paranoid, you should just simply stop surfing the net altogether.

What Panopticlick does is that it uses publicly available information your browser is willing to share (plugins installed, screen dimensions, colors, fonts, http headers, etc) EVEN if your cookies are disabled, and this information, apparently, is sufficient to uniquely track you (your computer) for practical purposes.

However, there is an upside, i guess. You analytic companies, are you using all these information as a combination to *uniquely* track visitors yet?
