The MAC address is a globally unique identifier of the network card in the computer - hence it's pretty useful to uniquely identify the machine/user. It's also very stable; unlike cookies or data stored in the registry it won't be changed by the user or removed by crapware removal programs.

Thanks - our network is fairly small with not more than 10 boxes. Graphite looks good, I'll check the documentation.
Ask HN: Best tool to collect performance metrics
What are the state-of-the art tools to collect software performance metrics such as API response times, upstream latency, etc.? I'm looking for something that's easy to integrate (e.g. SNMP, syslog or some other type of queue).We've been using Cacti in the past but prior to deploying that again I wanted to check if anybody has experience running something else.
Re:Show HN: Semantic price comparison browser extension

We've developed a browser extension that checks for better prices, user and professional reviews as well as videos on e-commerce sites. It only becomes active once we find something useful. Our primary market is Germany currently but we're looking into other countries since we have reached 85k downloads in AMO already.
We'd love to hear what you think about it.
