I have silently suffered Apple & AT&T's tyrannical restrictions.
No GPS apps because of no background tasks, no streaming slingbox due to AT&T network restrictions which prevented both apps Garmin had GPS ready to go in JUNE of 2008. Slingbox was ready to launch months ago as well.
Tethering, again AT&T bending me over.
All of these 'ills' fixable IF I was willing to jailbreak.
Truth is considering I've never met a device I didn't 'hack' to one degree or another I don't know *** I've been waiting for...but AT&T and Apple ought to take notice of users like myself.
I've played by their rules, but I've reached my limit for their collective and individual B.S. (Barbara Streisand)
I will wait....until 3.0 os launches so I can safely and worry free get that and all of the ridiculously absent basic smart phone functionality that I've lived with since succumbing this past January. But once I've got 3.0 and the jailbreakers work around the undoubted last minute 'new' code Apple slips in to 'break' the current jailbreak apps that work on beta 3.0 I will jalibreak at long last and get everything that should have been coming to me in terms of functionality all along.

Can I just say that I hate hate HATE it when CNET or any other org to be fair uses a screen shot of a product NOT AVAILABLE or a photoshop representation of a product not available in a non Preview type of article!
Seriously I saw the Sling logo on the iPhone and about wet myself thinking **** it's finally here! before noticing the Caption which reads more like a disclaimer in this case.
Arrrgh!
Ok rant off.

Only 1 candidate will protect the Net in 08
If you want to keep the internet free of regulation and taxes at a national level, there is only ONE candidate running for the White House in 2008 who is already ON THE RECORD and has a proven voting track record of voting against ANY bill for net regulation or taxes.
His name is Ron Paul, consider supporting him if you want the internet to remain unregulated.
Hillary won't protect the net.
O'Bama won't
McCain won't
Giuliani won't

And I know the ban on net taxes will expire before the 2008 elections, but if the conartists currently in control ram taxes or regulations through now, it's still only Ron Paul who would repeal them once he were to get into office.

Cast no stone
"Would readers cut The New York Times the same slack?"
Media personnel should not throw stones while living in glass houses.
I can think of several major life affecting issues that one media outlet or another has blown in very recent memory, let alone speculation over some gadget that has no REAL bearing on life. Unfortunately such speculation can and in this case did have an affect on share holders bottom line, which IS a potentially life altering in terms of balance sheets, short calls and retirement savings.
Like Yahoo's Ron Paul coverage after the first Republican Debate when he was left off their online poll, then added but disparaged, then they had to retract that as well.
The NY Times cited by the author routinely gets things wrong or ignores glaring facts of a story, in fact EVERY newspaper does, there's always a section called CORRECTIONS, but just like with this case, no one really remembers the correction or retration, but rather the first report.
Where I do agree however, is that things that are unconfirmed should at least carry a disclaimer on the TOP of the story / post, stating something to the effect that, While this is 'hot off the presses' it's unconfrimed and might be a hoax at this time. To not do so IS in fact irresponsible journalism.
Anyway, that's my .02

You prove my post - thank you.
I used the phrase voultarily in my post, and mysteriously, now an Editor note appears at the end of the article which reads and I quote:
"(Editor's note: OpenDNS is funded in part by Minor Ventures, a venture capital firm founded by Halsey Minor, who founded News.com parent company CNET Networks.) "
So, your entire post proved both the points you otherwise set out to refute, so I thank you for the validation. =)

Horrible Idea!
I'm agahst that CNET is promoting this idea as something good.
First and foremost, this isn't anything new, duh hello it's called a HOST LIST, I can make any keyword I want on a given machine = any web site I want.
But in normal thinking, substituting or redirecting is considered a browser attack by most malware detection/prevention programs, because, DUH it is an attack of sorts.
Many viruses infect your system such that if you try to say go to www.symantec.com or www.mcafee.com etc etc you get sent to some other site.
You are advocating the mass adoption voluntarily of a system that undermines the Internet wide DNS system, without which, the internet could never have acheived the level of mass penetration and adoption that it has.
It causes me to wonder what kind of cross marketing agreement OpenDNS might have with CNET NEWS if not directly, through one of the other tenuous partnerships with major conglomerats.

Another useless startup?
Am I the only one who scratches their head every time one of these 'startups' shows up on the sceene to save the day, and go, huh, you can already do that without the cost and overhead of thier product?
Most Enterprise class organization are already using Group Policies to enforce a baseline of minimum standards for certain PC settings, and can limit or remove completely the end client's ability to modify the settings controlled by Group Policies on their local pc, beit desktop or laptop.
Or am I really missing something here?
If so, I admit...I don't get it!
