Yesterday i found some interesting news-item about "Browser Fingerprinting"
Even without cookies, it seems to be possible to identify a lot of users uniquely by other client data.
You can visit the project description here: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2010/01/primer-information-theory-and-privacy
To test if they can identify your browser uniquely among hundreds of thousands visit this url:
https://panopticlick.eff.org/
The site is a bit slow atm, but it`s a quite interesting project
My browser seems to be unique \o/

I agree it is a great project.
Also as Cobruto said, it would be great if share any more projects like this.
Thanks
