Cisco recently released a new firmware for their wireless router devices that forces users to bypass the standard Admin login to a "Cloud based" login which enforces several interesting clauses.
My take is Cisco released this firmware in efforts to be more 'cloud-like' with intnetions of accessing your home router from any computer(possibly smart phone). Sounds grand, but to use this feature you have to agree to the following terms of coniditons:
http://ciscoconnectcloud.com/ui/ustatic/termsofservice/1.0.0/termsofservice-en-US.html
Now, how would Cisco know if your using your device for any of these services? Routers dont send information back to the manufacturer, do they? Would you consider this an invasion of privacy if your router logged your internet history and sent it off to the manufacturer?
Oh, and if you do look at porn too much, it's possible your new Cisco router may brick itself:

Wow Cisco, just wow.
