I agree this isn't censorship, however I CAN see hypothetical situations not too far from our own reality that should be considered.

If the iPhone was so ubiquitous that there simply wasn't competition, that smartphones were necessary for success and they started pushing out old media, then I think it is fair to argue that it may be censorship. We all know the general consumer is too brain dead to really care about censorship and wouldn't demand a change loudly enough that it would change Apple's behavior. So yeah, I think its good to be on guard to prevent such scenarios, so don't get too angry at the people who shout "censorship!" at every possible instance. Their sensors are just calibrated too sensitively.

Now, does this vulnerability apply to java's Bing toolbar, their Yahoo! toolbar, the MSN toolbar, or their Google toolbar?

Worst is when you've been using it for several minutes, and then every click redirects you to the "Maintenance" page...

The third prong is for cutting off, di ba ?

We have yet to get through our first winter so it will be interesting to see how they hold up. In Chicago, the implementation of these were absolutely horrible.

I don't think they exist either for what it's worth

Or perhaps he meant it's only been popular in the last year or so. I've seen this going on for the last three years at the least.

If anyone felt like tracking where I've been, eavesdropping, etc, they would be very bored.
