I think I need to read the Terms of Service agreements on stuff more carefully from now on. If I was a company, I would have thought this level of information, collected and freely shared with the public, was over the line - way over the line.

this information is fairly standard stuff.

When you connect to the internet your device states what operating system it is using to do this. the information is neither confidential nor sensitive.

If I owned a technology company that makes new, high-end products, I would have considered that kind of information both confidential and very sensitive.

But it isnt confidential or sensitive.

the hardware company have programmed it to send that information openly to any website or application they use and then used those applications.

When you just posted that MR can see what OS you are using and what browser.

its like driving your new red car down a public street and then complaining when people see it.

IMO it's more like caller ID when you call an 800 number. You can't block it, but you can spoof it-and the spoofing can lead to 'unusual' results so, unless you're *really* bothered by it, it's best not to do so.

If I considered it confidential, yes. If it was a fairly harmless way to get the twitterati talking about my company? Well...

I don't know what it will be named. I don't know what it will look like. I don't know what it will do. I don't know the cost and I don't know when it will be available.

But I do know that I want to be first to buy one!

Did you come up with an excuse to spend the $$ yet? If so, please post it - others are trying to come up with something similar (excuse me, I meant rational, not excuse).

If the Apple hype is valid, what's the point in buying a QUE now at a price of $650 or $800?
