"Utilizes the power of broadband"? What a heap of marketing wankspeak!

So I go look at the support page, and it's full of download this, run
that, allow the other to install, open holes in your firewall, all in order
to allow what it persists in describing as "your broadband webapp". As if
the app is in someway related to the kind of cable that carries the traffic.
Sorry, no way on earth am I gonna run your wretched java virus/trojan just
in order to get the opportunity to have marketing bullshit rammed down my
throat. It's utter GARBAGE to claim that installing some completely unknown
java application is somehow a "safe environment" compared to reading plain
text emails.
cheers,
