Similarly, for kindles with 3G access, 3G tethering abuse is probably why amazon sandboxed 3G web access to the walled garden of amazon and wikipedia, and to limit 3G to 50MB per month in many areas.

Sadly, the squandering and loss of common public resources is a downside of "human nature", known as "Tragedy of the Commons", and it is where removal of Special Offers and 3G Tethering fall. A few people abusing something can lead to restriction of loss to all.

The "RIGHT" way to remove special offers is to pay amazon to remove them. This costs as little as $20. Just do it the right way.

The "desktop" screen with a lock symbol is the NORMAL behavior of that screensaver hack when that mode is enabled. Most hacks come with a README file or other instructions. You really should read the instructions for the hack that you are having trouble understanding...
I'm not talking about the removal of special offers. I'm in Nepal, so its nearly impossible for me to remove the special offers the 'right' way. And my lockscreen does not have a lock logo in it. The whole screen just freezes. And this was the way it was even before i did the screensaver hack.
