I-phone-home too :-/

iPhone owners: some of your iphone apps phone home too.

Fortunately, there is a running list at the above url. Either update your hosts file manually, or check out the Cydia repository for an updated copy.

EVERYONE SHOULD HAVE A JAILBROKEN PHONE JUST FOR THIS REASON ALONE.

Thanks! Just like the IPhone asks before any app gets a location, they should for network access too. Just because network access is unlimited doesn't mean that they can do this!

Good choice putting $4,000 rims on your 1990 Honda Civic. That's like Betty White going out and getting her tits done.

Every so often, I find myself completely happy with the fact that there are still simple solutions to problems that arise.

I know, hosts is an inelegant, rudimentary hack.. I'm sooo okay with that.

Much better than a crazy set of ipfw rules...on a damn telephone. :mrgreen:
