Have you noticed that Facebook “Like” button on websites all over the web lately? Of course you have. You may even have noticed that some websites seem to know exactly who your friends are, displaying their profile icon to establish a social connection with you. While this remains an incredibly powerful marketing tool, it can also be used to track your every move! By that I mean Facebook knows every website that you have visited, regardless of whether or not you are logged in. The only caveat is that you can only be tracked when visiting a web page that is connected to Facebook by means of a “Like” button or other integration, such as a browser plug-in.
This should scare you. If it doesn’t, let me continue. Imagine you’re browsing the web alone, and you decide to visit an objectionable website. Later, your spouse comes along and visits one of their favorite websites. Using the tracking features Facebook has in place, an ad for that very same objectionable website appears on the screen. Doesn’t bother you enough? Well how about this…Facebook stores a list of the sites you visited in order to sell your information to advertisers. But this information can potentially be accessed by parties of less honorable intent.
To be fair, Facebook is not the only offender in the online tracking game. Sites like Google, Yahoo and Twitter also do some pretty heavy tracking of their own. For instance, when advertisers pay for you to click on a link to their website, they will also pay to show that same ad to you while visiting other unrelated websites. This is called re-marketing and it happens to you every day. However, due to the amount of personal data shared, and the high percentage of web users with a Facebook account, Facebook poses an especially high risk.
So how do you protect yourself? There are several ways, but here I will share my preferred method. Using a web browser plug-in called “Disconnect,” we can block tracking cookies used by Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Twitter and Digg. They will be blocked only when you are not visiting the site directly. In other words, you will still be able to use Facebook and Twitter normally when you are visiting facebook.com and twitter.com. But while visiting other sites which utilize these tracking cookies they will be rendered useless.
First, download and install Mozilla Firefox. Once installed, open the following link in Firefox:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disconnect/
Firefox will ask if you want to install the add-on. Choose “yes” and let it install. You will be asked to restart your browser to complete installation. Click “yes” and wait for Firefox to restart. You should now see a button with a blue “d” to the right of your address bar in Firefox. Done.
You can now browse the web securely, knowing your every move is no longer being tracked.

Can any spy blog or spy reference book be complete without a reference to James Bond. I am making a small attempt to note down some of the most exciting spy gadgets that I too would like to own.
1. Dagger shoe – a shoe with a poisoned blade that makes kicks doubly dangerous. This shoe is seen in Die Another Day
2. Garrote watch – a watch from which a wire garrote can be drawn, and strangle a man. This is seen in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
3. Vehicle (Aston Martin DB5) – Equipped with passenger ejector seats, tire slashers, defenses including smoke and oil slick sprayers and machine guns concealed behind headlights. Seen in Goldfinger
4. Hat – Hat equipped with a metal disc which is capable of killing someone as it can break a person’s neck when it is thrown hard. Seen in Goldfinger
5. Industrial Laser – Said to be powerful enough to put a laser dot on the moon, with the ability to cut through steel at close range. Seen in Goldfinger
6. Homing Pill – When an agent such as James Bond takes a pill, it emits a radio signal that can only be detected by a coded receiver. Seen in Thunderball
7. Rocket Belt – used to eject or propel James Bond to escape in the air. Seen in Thunderball
8. Mini Rocket Cigarette – a small cigarette capable of shooting a jet-powered projectile up to 30 yards. Seen in ‘You Only Live Twice’
9. Safe cracker – a miniature device that fits into pockets and can be used to crack any safe that an agent wants to open. Seen in You Only Live Twice.
10. Clothing brush communicator – a small radio disguised and hidden inside a clothing brush. This has a key which allows it to transmit messages in morse code. Seen in Diamonds are Forever
11. Water sphere – a neat gadget used to walk on water. Seen in Diamonds are Forever
12. Quartz watch – a watch that operates like a pager, with an in-built telex that allows agencies to send important messages to agents. The agent can print them out with a teleprinter
