WJBC tech expert Dean Plumadore says Google and other ad companies that have been using special code to sidestep privacy settings in Apple’s Safari browser could have simply made a programming glitch.

Google disabled the privacy-skirting code after it was contacted by The Wall Street Journal. In this interview, Plumadore also previews the iPad 3, which he expects to debut March 7.
