Facebook detects if you are logged in Gmail
I have a Ubuntu virtual machine(VMware Player) for Facebook only. I don't see any sufficient reason to link all my online activity to my account.

That's a pretty solid way to handle security. I wonder if there's a way to make sure you're always booting from the same starting point so that nothing is persisted to the image between vm sessions.

You can also boot live ISOs, which don't maintain state between boots.

Way slower than snapshots.
Snapshots are astoundingly, amazingly, beautifully fast.
