I've created a stub article here based on an earlier version because the article Dan Borislow does not seem to be the right venue for information on this topic, and the redirect seemed to be causing some confusion. --Zippy (talk) 10:49, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We need more info about the history of when the devices became for sale, info on the versions of the software upgrades, such as the fix for windows Vista and most recently the "Mac Upgrade Beta". Also info on changes on the hardware since it's initial release, link to popular magicjack forums and hack sites, where innovation and alternate uses of the hardware is being discussed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.106.176.232 (talk) 13:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possible spyware

Because of advertising and word of mouth I decided to purchase this product. Since then I have several concerns about it in regards to spyware. Much of the remarks on the net are in reviews and comments and therefore difficult to source. I am concerned that this product may mine telephone numbers, email addresses, and other information on one's computer. This could result in spam and liability issues. From the user screen there is an obvious association with Google. This probably explains the very low price. It is probably advertising supported acting as a form of spyware on one's computer.

Other aspects concern me. There is no way to stop the program from running except with a control-alt-del and ending the process. There is no way to stop it from loading on start-up along with an advertising splash screen and other messages. Hopefully others can contribute an alert to readers about the possible downsides of this product.
