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!

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.

Oh ya! KISS is something I keep in mind every day!
