Its a nice article for providing the info, but in the grand scheme of things I have a hard time seeing app purchases as that great of a privacy threat.
After all, the exact same tracking process goes on for most sites you visit on the regular web. If someone is going to build a profile of you to advertise to (and companies do that for all of us, based on this info, which is of course "anonymous":), the regular internet is a much greater source of data than a few apps.
Try looking here for instance:
~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia... Player/#SharedObjects/
These are all the sites that are tracking you for various reasons. All made possible by......Flash (sorry Boz:)
