On the other hand there might still a lot of useful information be collected (like software which is phoning home etc. Still I wouldn't encourage anyone to uninstall brain 1.0 ;-) It'd be interesting to see this integrated with LS.  An extra button in the LS dialog to "Report the connection attempt to the ObDev database".  This would send in the connection data as well as an optional comment. Okay, but this would only make sense if there would be somebody at obdev who would read and check the data and coments or else Virus writers could spam this database as well. Also reporting wouldn't be sufficient if Users wouldn't be able check the database. And of course you can wait for people who would get suspicious about the connection to obdev.
