Apparently no two people have the same "Mouse-Movement Print", according to analysts, thus providing a method by which Google can track users with much more accuracy.
Of course, the technology is in Beta, and the algorithm for duplicate detection will never be made public.
You didn't hear it from me!
:D

I heard that some portion of their JavaScript code measures the mouse tracking speed and trend (the speed and "way" in which one moves the mouse).

Not A joke I think... Google is also experimenting with noise-sound recognition tru your computer microphone... it's their goal to store those background sounds, analyse them and try to create somekind of profile of you... what would able them to show you more relevant adds...
must be a joke! Please tell me its a joke!
Of course. Impicit, I thought.
Though, mouse tracking does actually have it's uses... but I just made it up that Google uses it.

Google has a way of detecting the dust collection between keys on your keyboard. Some kind of optical measure.
The pattern is unique for regular users, as it's a combination of breathing pattern (especially nose-breathers), keyboard use and hygiene. The system does not work well with 'hot desking' - but it's a dead giveaway for home users.
They are also working on 'finger length ratios' - the relationship of the length of your middle three fingers on your dominant hand is unique to you, and can be detected by the pattern of your typos.
It's this high-tech detection stuff that has got Google so far ahead of its rivals in fraud detection.
"I've heard Googles algorithm for tracking associated accounts works very well"
Not so well for me as they used it to decide I was associated with a bad guy. In the 4th email I sent them, I referred to my shared hosting and dynamic IP, and then they suddenyl apologised, gave in and let me back in to AdSense!
Not sure if it's a coincidence, but suggests that site host and access IP may be important parts of the algorithm.
Maybe they're human after all.
