If I get internet access in my head, it had better come with one hell of a popup/ad/spam blocker. I don't want to be walking down the street checking my email and suddenly see EN1lIARGE Y0UR P^E^N^IS 1N A WEEK||1lIY! in ten-foot flashing letters.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
In a world where I sometimes need to reboot my phone, WiFi can stay the hell away from my brain.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I find that scheduled downtime every 24 hours takes care of most of my need for reboots.

Panda Titanium Anti-Virus question: Not only a) has it the tendency to hang up Eudora when scanning incoming mail and b) did it lose the username and password for system update after one successful update, but c) I'm really expected to reboot periodically so the updates take? What year is this?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Those are as good as reasons as any for switching to AVG.

Tricksily, the evaluation version only allows one update, which it performs right after install. So I couldn't learn about the reboot until after I shelled out for 6 months. When that expires, it's onto AVG. Curse that coin toss.
