"Data Dealer is an online game about collecting and selling personal data - full of irony and gleeful sarcasm.

Let's call it a bastard offspring of certain shiny 2010 Facebook Games and the 1990 TV simulation game Mad TV, reborn with the souls of South Park and Bruce Schneier. And it´s also available on Facebook! Oh, the irony. In today´s digital age virtually everything we do is recorded, monitored or tracked in some way: Data Dealer is a unique interactive exploration of this personal data ecosystem."

"As we all know, search engines like tracking you - your IP address, your search terms and so on. They use this to build up profiles, store the data and so on. It can be a real pain trying to search without this information being stored, but you can try Disconnect Private Search. This routes your search queries through their proxy servers before they go to the popular search engines, including Google, Bing and Yahoo."

"YOUR search history contains some of the most personal information you will ever reveal online: your health, mental state, interests, travel locations, fears and shopping habits.

The original product, Disconnect, was created by a former engineer at Google and its subsidiary, DoubleClick, Brian Kennish, and a former consumer rights advocate, Casey Oppenheim. It shows users the invisible sites that track their actions on the web and blocks them. According to Kennish, it not only cuts the advertising umbilical cord, but it also reduces the use of bandwidth and increases browser speeds by as much as 27 per cent. A more recent product, Disconnect Search, essentially makes your search terms anonymous.

Creating a jam track with apple's Garageband app for the ipad and then shredding a guitar solo over it!
