I got this story from OWW, who found it via slashdot. You've got to be kidding me!? What's going to happen next? Am I going to have to worry about my printer automatically spewing out advertisements? When is this all going to stop? Belkin is run by a bunch of hippie pinko commie pigs with no more market sense than an infant in a business suit. <br><br>This will create a huge stink, and Belkin sales will plummet. We're currently looking at going wireless and it doesn't take a genius to figure out who we won't be doing business with.<br><br>Read <a href="http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/69/33858.html">here </a> to see what has my panties in a wad.<br>

I would more liken them to right wing capatilist morons with no respect for civil liberties.

Typical in this day of marketing gone mad.

Not a communist idea at all really.

Moogie McCarthy :D

I never cared much for Belkin to start with.
This just makes it much easier for me to ignore their entire product line. :p
Thanks for the heads up Moogie :thumbs:

I've used this Belkin stuff far too long. Didn't really work. Trashed it now and bought a Netgear router instead. Works just fine.

It's disgusting :swear:

Never bought a product from them and now I'm 100% sure I never will.
