If you have root, then you can edit/etc/hosts to block ads and other garbage which would otherwise just be wasting all that precious 3G bandwidth, not just on the web, but even inside apps. It's a win for everyone!
Well, everyone except developers and content providers, but why would the carriers care about them?
It's good to know that my children will be able to cherish my facebook account long after i'm gone. It is a prize that will be handed down through generations. To think, a hundred years from now, my great-great-grandchildren will be able to log in as me and "poke" all my dead friends. They can surf while logged in as me, and facebook's trackers will add the viewed sites to my advertising profile. This way, facebook will have a way of delivering incredibly well-targeted ads to them (as they will have generations of data to use). It warms my heart.
Crippen is charged with two counts of violating the anti-circumvention provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, and faces a maximum five years for each count if convicted. The government maintains Crippen, a hotel car-parking manager, ran a small business from his Anaheim home modifying the firmware on Xbox 360 optical drives to make them capable of running pirated copies of games.
The judge on Wednesday even backtracked on an earlier ruling that had prohibited Crippen, 28, from raising a “fair use” defense at trial.
Crippen was hoping to argue to jurors that it was legal to hack the consoles because the modification had non-infringing purposes, like allowing the machines to run homebrew software, or permitting limited fair use of copyright material such as backup copies of video games.
Firmware modifications to the Xbox360's optical drive do not allow the device to play homebrew, only backups. There is no issue wirh "non-microsoft approved" software here. For that, you'd need to do a more sophisticated J-TAG mod or maybe a modchip. Any mention of homebrew in his defense is utter bullshit.
It's time for someone to do this game the service the original developers never did. It'd be great to get to play this with modern graphics and a more detailed storyline.
Google has tried to hide what they do - they display targeted ads. It's not like they've every tried to cover that fact up,
Uhh what?
nor have they been really been caught out on a privacy breach. (I'm going to discount the technical incompetent idiots [...] who can't be bothered to read what they're clicking on before they click it, a la Buzz).
Wasn't the whole buzz settlement about having automatically opted people into buzz who hadn't clicked on anything of the sort, and then sharing all of their google contacts with all of their other google contacts?
They also freely list all the data they store on you: https//www.google.com/dashboard

Does this mean privacy and security in Google Voice is not available either?

You can't create anything on your smartphone except raw pictures and video.
Funny, I've had no trouble writing, compiling, and running C++ and Java directly on my n900. It's not my fault your phone sucks.

I just want to tell you good luck. We're all counting on you.

Such as Android?
