"After the meaning of these became widely familiar, 10100111001 came to be used in its place, because it is the binary form of 1337, making it more of a puzzle to interpret.[9]"

Identity politics meets the web
From an email describing recent changes to Google's AdSense:
So many have noted that the net seems to provide a place for people to exist without the conventional/legacy baggage of race, gender, size, and other appearance-based stereotypes and prejudices. It appears that now, if you keep cookies and don't surf privately, Google has seem fit to start creating and applying its own labels for you based on behavior. It's the ADHD of eAdverts.
I wonder if Google would ever sell your labels to another corporation?
Interest-based advertising will allow advertisers to show ads based on a user's previous interactions with them, such as visits to advertiser website and also to reach users based on their interests (e.g. "sports enthusiast"). To develop interest categories, we will recognize the types of web pages users visit throughout the Google content network. As an example, if they visit a number of sports pages, we will add them to the "sports enthusiast" interest category. To learn more about your associated account settings, please visit the AdSense Help Center at http://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?topic=20310.
