3. ?
4. Profit

Please provide any additional information below.

Please don't put Google Analytics tracking on everyone's personal servers. It's 
one thing to use GA on a public website, but to track peoples use of the 
program running on their personal machines with no notification that this 
tracking is taking place is unacceptable. Without the aid of Ghostery I may 
have never even noticed.

Fix:
Delete the following lines from webiopi.js:
17, 113-120, 277

Please remove this from the code asap:

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js"></script>

Tracking bugs do not belong in an open source project.

Asking THIS is UNACCEPTABLE
It's not about tracking, it's about statistics...
Almost all software use some kind of stats nowadays, specially on mobile 
devices, and you never notice/care about that.
