Anytime I try to connect to this site from by bb it tries running a script which totally slows down my bb and causes an hour glass to appear and reappear even though the internet is closed.

My comment was on only how they do it half-assed. I agree with the stupid user clicking on a bad link and all the sudden you have a rampant virus spreading throughout the environment. What sucks though is that it also effects the clued user who just wants to be able to access his/her personal email while connected to the work network. Smartphones are good for this, but then you get links and .pdfs and other stuff inside emails where only a full-blown computer is going to be of assistance. I know, "I should be working." But just trying to stop me from doing something is only going to make me overcome that block. And even the fastest 3G aircard, is a big old pain in the butt when you want to do some personal surfing. Especially when your in a building that has crappy service indoors. To be honest, a webproxy over an SSH tunnel isn't much better - SLOW AS A DOG. Even with Upenn and Penn State ssh shells. @Sh0n: I agree with blocking of sites inside a corporate network. My comment was on only how they do it half-assed.

LOL at shON with the same thought I was thinking... you're TECH PEOPLE and can't understand what BGR is saying here????? HOLY S**T! Yes (MUCH SARCASM FOLLOWS) - AT&T is now blocking BGR from it's network. You will no longer able to access BGR on any AT&T device. PDAs, iPhones, BlackBerrys. Even the regular flip phones. Doesn't matter what browser either. IE, Opera, Mini-Opera, Skyfire, WAP browsers... No BGR anymore. Bwahahahahahaha! Oh yeah - and AT&T DSL? Nope. You'll have to get on cable or some other DSL. And make sure they don't have a partnership with AT&T's lines or towers. If your signal request for www.boygeniusreport.com comes ANYWHERE NEAR AT&T - your phone will shut down, your computer will lock up and you'll get the spinning AT&T Globe of DEATH! Bwahahahahaa.... Okay - seriously people. Let's get this straight. AT&T is a company that pays its employees to do a certain job. They do not pay them to sit on the computer and read blogs. Therefore, AT&T can have it's IT department block out websites that are not approved to look at. AT&T is not the ONLY company that does this. Many corporations do this. They want their employees working, not commenting on how they won't be able to access BGR on their phones. DOH! You people either are really funny, or really scaring me because you are tech people who should know this. Oy Vay. OMG – HOW MANY TIMES MUST WE SAY THIS????

I deal with IT policies daily, and we have the same exact practice, if a site gets blocked by a new policy, users must fill out a form asking for it to be allowed. It’s rather surprising that ATT would be doing this in the middle of 2008. Goes to show how unsecure Corporate America really is, and from a lot of these posts, it shows how uneducated a user is.. dangerous combination. I think Josh AT&T has cleared up the events.

I think Boy Genius is going to block all traffic coming from AT&T corporate IP addresses to his site. That way he is blocking them from monitoring the scoops on their competitors. By the way, any company can block access to anything they want on their network because of the lost productivity and inherent liability they incur. If some of their employees start downloading torrents, surfing for porn, etc. the company would be held accountable. I don’t think Boy Genius is blocking consumers using AT&T to access his site.

Another reason to love your site :) AT&T is just looking for bad publicity with this one. If BGR blocks all of AT&T's network though, that might be abit of overkill. How about considering a rolling brownout or a temporary block of all of AT&T's network? I'm sure there's lots of folks on their networks that love BGR as much as I do so why punish them too? ;) Nice BG.

The reason was not against BGR it was against employees browsing the internet and ingorning customers walking into the store. We filed a form syaing BGR is company related since it pertains to the mobile and technology industry and guess what it got unblocked! So please dont rush to conclusions that at&t is against BGR.
