This website does not track you.
It contains no private information. It does not drop persistent cookies, does not collect data other than incoming ip addresses and page views (the internet is a public place), and certainly does not collect and sell your information to others.
Some sites that I link to may try to track you, but that's between you and them, not you and me.
I do collect statistics, but I use a simple stand-alone Wordpress plugin, not third-party services such as Google Analitics over which I have no control.
Finally, this is website is a hobby. It's a hobby in which I am deeply invested, about which I care deeply, and which has enabled me to learn a lot about computers and computing, but it is still ultimately an avocation, not a vocation; it is certainly not a money-making enterprise (unless you click the "Donate" button--go ahead, you can be the first!).
I appreciate your visiting this site, and I desire not to violate your trust.

There’s a paradox here the subtlety of which el Reg, unsurprisingly, misses. She’s the offspring of a family the probably fled when the Shah was overthrown or perhaps later as the mullahs tightened their grip. She’s not quite the visible cloth of a Revolutionary Guard undercover agent.

Very true. It is also true that bigots generally don’t do “subtle.”
It’s really quite disgusting.
(I like El Reg for the eclectic irreverence, not for the analysis.)

Anyway, who seriously thinks the Iranians can’t get iJunk if they want it? The idea of iTar enforcement on worldwide shipment of consumer electronics like it is absurd, regardless of the computing power in the chip sets.

Most of these “exporting technology” laws are founded on complete and total ignorance of technology and the technology community (I purposefully did not say “companies”).
Furthermore, it probably was not the intent of Congress to include under the term “export” private retail sales to American residents who have no intention of going anywhere.
And, for chrissakes, I have a four-year-old netbook that can outperform an iPad seven days a week and twice on Sundays. And I don’t have to buy an external keyboard for it; it came with a keyboard, thank you very much.
No, this is just iGenius and the Cult of Crapple displaying its hollowness.
Frankly, those kids are better off without iJunk and the Walled Orchard.
