Here is some more info for you to play with.

Go to http://www.usatoday.com/ - a site that uses "f" "Like" icons
Use any tool to view all the JavaScript in the page.
(Firefox Web Developer Toolbar, for example)
Find this script call by usatoday:
http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js

Search all that *140KB* script for various iterations of "facebook" and
see just how many different sub-domains are used to track you. Including
your Name if you are a subscriber. There is also the domain
static.ak.fbcdn.net and s-static.ak.fbcdn.net and more.

It might be possible (can't tell; I'm not that well-versed in JavaScript)
that the 140KB of script *creates* cookies to track you even if you do
NOT subscribe to Facebook.

It goes on and on.
