Story: Lexmark accused of installing spyware

You define spyware in an odd way then, don't you?
I recently bought on of these little beasties, and during the installation it ASKED me if it could collect data and "phone home". That would make it the least-stealthy spyware I've ever encountered. Of course, I told it not to--I don't trust Big Brother--and it doesn't appear to be doing anything underhanded, based on the info you've relayed in your article, and my firewall logs.
