Here's how the Omniture describes themselves:

"Imagine a device that could be placed by the front door of a department store to tell the store manager all kinds of detailed information about customers - what store they came from, who they were referred by, if they have been to the store previously, what advertisement they were responding to and much more," says CEO Josh James. "Imagine how useful this kind of information is to a store manager or marketing agent. That is the kind of information SiteCatalyst can provide, instantaneously, in real-time."
Okay, that's just creepy.
Anyone who is upset by this sort of thing should enthusiastically consider disabling javascript. Alternatively, many browsers can also be configured to not download third-party images ('Load images for the originating web site only').
I took a quick look at the code. I love the source address for the offending web bug:

Sneaky, huh?
