Most disingenuous advert ever:

The 8-second demo for Internet 8 where the man says that if you are shopping for an anniversary present for your wife, you can switch to keeping your browser history secret, so she'll never find out.

Yes. That's the web browsing men want to keep secret from their wives. The fact that they're shopping for jewellery for them.

The cause of most broken marriages: the secretly jewelry-buying man!

Next up: the commercial where he hides his MSN chat log so his wife doesn't know he's secretly chatting with his mom. "I don't want to worry Margaret about dad's liver problems."

As someone who lives in Bangkok, a destination notorious for luring men who seek to *ahem* buy jewellery for their wives on the sly, all I can say to this post is: Hahahahahaha! Surprise anniversary gifts -- nice one!...What'll they call it next?! Hahaha...haha...ha ha...ha...ha...aha...

What annoyed me is they showed the ad twice in an ad break so I had to shout OR BROWSING FOR PORN twice.

I would find this feature really useful - I'm sick of Office's autocomplete telling me where my boyfriend has been buying me jewellery!

Yawn - another male assumption that the dear little woman doesn't know how to find hidden history/files etc. Though quite useful if we want to hide something because they haven't a clue.
