What the fuck???? Putting adware RIGHT INTO THE FUCKING ROUTER FIRMWARE????? This is just getting ridiculous. It's bad enough that spam is on the verge of outnumbering legitimate e-mail (at last count, spam is at 45% of all e-mail and rising!!!).

Actually, I think this summer it rose to 51% (who knows what it is now). Yes, I know that's ridiculous. Although it doesn't really say how it's going to push ads onto computers in that article. And I was thinking about getting a new router from Belkin, oh well. Maybe I should check out LinkSys. I don't know many manufacturers, but I'll shop around.
