Re: Mozilla are only partly right

well, firstly 333.444 isn't a valid host address; secondly, IP blocking is quite counterproductive given how much IPv4 addresses are reused these days.

couldn't bring yourself to say "Sinful Fornication", could you? It would be best to honourably euthanise yourself now before the islamomarxist death squads get you for abusing pseudo-science.

This is probably part of why Pebble went bust

There are more ways to be wrong than right.

With a bit of luck they'll go on strike and the global index of good taste will undergo a temporary, but measurable, improvement as a result.

Like the Writer's Guild Strike of 2007?

In the case of First party branded cables, it would be more trouble for them to lie. Otherwise, it's a good place to start before you pull the ohmmeter out.

Android MARKET

I don't know what you are on about, but the Android Market can work over WiFi or any internet connection for that matter - it just needs to be on the list of models permitted to access the market.

cookies

As I understand it, Phorm identified you by your IP address, and sniffed from what must be the majority of your web traffic, maybe more, and was opt out: you would have to present a special cookie to stop the ads but probably not the sniffing.

Google's services are opt in: Google is not sniffing all your traffic, It can only keep records from google sites you have visited. If you reject cookies from google this information becomes difficult if not impossible to tie together if your IP is dynamic. Additionally, You can opt out of most google advertising by rejecting webpage scripting.

In short, being with a Phorm ISP would have been detrimental to your overall web service; the only way Google would effect your web service is if you actually use it . Sadly I suspect you cannot tell the difference google and the internet.

Don't count on it

As far as I can tell Jingle is peer to peer, at least on the desktop client. VoIP is just a add-on service that makes it more likely that you will be using using the email and XMPP-IM services that can have ads served to them.

The only "doing nothing but evil" is your misplaced paranoia. It should be redirected at some other, actual Googevil methings...
