I've been blocking and/or deleting DoubleClick cookies almost as long as there has been a WWW. How much money is enough, Google guys? I guess since you haven't choked on your billions already, you imagine you can digest a few more useless billions of dollars - at the cost of your souls.

However, they are now likely to be moved into Google domain, making them escape the filters people have set up. There was already an issue of merger of DoubleClick and Abacus Direct, which would let them combine the citizen data they harvested. http://www.junkbusters.com/doubleclick.html And now add Google and its database to the equation..... you get the result. Many of you are using Gmail, by the way. The doubleclick servers are in so many blacklists around the world (AdBlock, proxy-based blocklists, etc.).
