Marketplace Tech Report for Wednesday, February 22, 2012
The advertising arm of Google is getting a lot of heat lately about tracking people who use Apple's Safari and Microsoft's Internet Explorer web browsers. Safari does allow for some cookies to be placed on users but only from the site that they’re actually visiting, and Safari is not supposed to accept advertising cookies. There’s now a class action lawsuit against Google from a group of Safari users. Also, another installment of Tech Report Theater.
