## Source excerpt

A week ago, I finally got round to implementing an idea I'd been toying with for years: what if your computer made a little bit of noise every time it sent data to Google? From studying logs, I'd long known just how many sites send all your visits and clicks to (at least) Google, but a log that you have to manually create first and then analyze is not very dramatic.
