You can get all the privacy you want at work by using your mobile phone for visiting Digg, Drudge, checking e-mail or safely searching Google. I don't own an expensive smartphone, I use a regular cell phone with cheap unlimited data plan. The best mobile-friendly portal by far is http://a1r.mobi (for guys) and http://a1r.mobi/me (for women). From either site, you can easily get to everything you want - fast and everything is mobile-friendly. Plus, unlike my company workstation, I can take my mobile phone on breaks to read my personal e-mail or top news stories. Most people with web-enabled cell phones don't even use the feature because they don't know how, or think it may be too expensive (check your carrier plans). The main reason I didn't use my mobile phone at first was prior to finding a1r.mobi, it was too much of a pain to find truly mobile-friendly sites. Most sites took too long to load, looked crappy when they did load, and often just froze. http://a1r.mobi is way different. Try it out on your own cell phone and see for yourself. You may not go back to using a company computer under corporate IT surveillance.
