An excellent point. That's why I think OpenDNS is a better option. They at least appear to give you a choice in the matter. I'm not sure Google's services are equitable. There's a good blog post from the founder of OpenDNS where he critiques Google's service. It's a good read.

Comment The Security? (Score 1) 325

Sandra Whitley Ryals, director of Virginia's Department of Health Professions, declined to discuss details of the hacker's claims, and referred inquires to the FBI. "There is a criminal investigation under way by federal and state authorities, and we take the information security very serious," she said.

Nice grammar, chump. `I'm not on the email. I don't trust the email.`

Comment I can't wait for the work-from-home effect (Score 4, Interesting) 395

Here at IBM, our company has just decided to stop reimbursing work-from-home employees for Internet access. Combined with this new data transfer capping trend, I fully anticipate having to explain to a customer why I can't take care of that server problem until next month because my daughter used up our bandwidth allocation on the Playhouse Disney web site. That's going to go over really well...

I absolutely agree. I bought an iPhone 3 months ago, and it sucks. I hate the thing and am shopping around for a replacement Blackberry. I don't care if I have to pay $175 to get rid of the iPhone or not.

Comment Great, but when will it support REAL ad blocking? (Score 1) 258

I'm glad to know about this new beta, but frankly I care a lot less about perfect ACID scores than I do a workable solution for blocking ads. And I'm not talking about the lame ass right-click-block-content function, I want a solution that will block ads across my browsing experience, like the Firefox Adblock Plus extension.
