They claim it's good for them: I suspect the future battle-ground is  
the precise definition of opt-in and opt-out.  If you believe a single  
splash-screen is a good opt-in, then that's good for Phorm; if you  
have concerns about children, shared accounts and the rest then it's  
not good for Phorm.  We'll see.

However, their share price is off 9.7% and their stock is now trading  
at 1500, with a mid-morning low of 1425, so it's clearly going to  
require some careful messaging.

Today I'm a financial guru: I found the top of the market for betting  
on Red Ken's Socialist Paradise, and have 20 quid on at 9/4.  He's now  
down (or up from his perspective) to 7/4.  Sadly, I didn't back Boris  
when he was at 9/4: holding 9/4 on both horses in a two horse race  
would be nice, wouldn't it?
