Breakin the law has to be a good one to cover too :)

I'm not blaming you. Someone on alt.music.deep-purple wrote something called Spambringer a few years back. If anyone deserves the blame it's him!

Is he setting us up for a, "get Phormed and enjoy priority routing for your traffic or opt-out and get to the back of the queue"?

Just idle thinking, that's all...

Snap!

I having read about it in the first PCpro bought in months, I promptly sent an email to VM and joined the forum.

I have checked my browser security and it is set to only accept cookies form sites I vist and promptly deletes them when I close the browser.

A question then who, if anyone, puts the "tracking cookie" on my PC. If it is VM I will have to change my home page. Which will be their loss as I would not be looking at anything they had to offer.

I just get a page with scantily clad young ladies from "Hayling" looking for a date. Fat, old, married men must be in short supply there then :erm:

Bugger! I'm being profiled already, aren't I? :D:D:D:angel:

I have spent since this afternoon making up a pc presentation application on my laptop that I thought I would burn and then send to friends & family and just about anyone I can think of to spread the word on Phorm...
:)

Just one thought - this is presumably aimed at the non-technical?

I don't know about anyone else but if I showed this to my parents they probably wouldn't get beyond the first page.

Anyway of breaking it up with images/video stills/diagrams etc - because other than that it makes all the required points. IMO there is possibly too much text.

Think of it as an experiment to test the validity of 'opt in'. :)

Thanks Alexander. Your efforts are very much appreciated.

Cmon people, still a few books left. Your chance to stick two fingers up to K*nt and show him that people will 'opt in' to something they value...

This list is recommended background reading (should be fun then) for my Masters:

It is quite long...
