Ummm... R?


I looked at their website last time there was a thread about this... but I don't care enough to figure out what they do. What do they do?

They can harvest your information, but they can't harvest your soul.

There's a reason why this service is free. They sell your habits.

I hope you steer clear of every Google product ever made. Isn't yahoo starting to do the same too?

Same concept.

I almost threw up in my mouth when they proclaim "You need superfast DNS servers!"

People will eat up just about any BS that's told to them.

The cool thing about OpenDNS is that if you mistype a URL it provides suggestions or even automatically fixes it for you.

For example, if you type google.cmo it will automatically send you to google.com

Boo for OpenDNS. Didn't notice any difference, except that now if I were to type "imdb good will hunting" into the address bar, it would show me search results. Without it, I go directly to the movie on imdb.

I don't like the play on words around openbsd, a real open source project.
If I need better dns I'll build my own caching dns server, thank you.
