In reply to Serge. Hi Serge - I replied to your email on this as well, but just in case: this is the Glasklart theme, with the Winterboard 'User Wallpaper' item turned on as well. The wallpaper being used is one I found in a nice free collection in Cydia. I think it's just called 'Mac Wallpapers' or something similar.

Whoa! Nice pick for a contest! As an admitted Twitter addict, I adore BNO for their scoops. The BNO iPhone app, with push, is full of WANT!

In reply to Steve Whinfield . I'm sorry - I don't really understand that question, or even know if it is meant as a question.

In my experience, whenever you see the 'suitable nodes' wording, it means that something in Rackspace's data center is quite unsuitably shagged / knackered / buggered / not functioning optimally. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience and hassle with that. Sadly, it seems to have become a once a week event these last few weeks. Always on a Monday or Tuesday. I'm hoping they will get that figured out and squashed very soon. It is not a site (as in our site) issue at all.
As for your questions: they have not started charging for anything as yet. I'm not sure when or if they will. There is not a way to filter the sort of news, or alerts, that you want to receive – at least that I'm aware of. Closest I've seen – which is not very close – is an ability to opt in (it's turned off by default) to getting low priority alerts.

It's over folks – Frank wins all 5 codes for that last line. Joke! 🙂 Thanks for the very kind words Frank.

…Finally got a "suitable node" so this page would load (whatever that means).

Have they started charging for this service yet? I heard it was going to require a subscription. Also, is there a way to customize the types of news you would like to receive like sports, entertainment, iPhone, etc.?
