That's an interesting point . . is this applicable to cellphones and set-top boxes also?

Surely someone would have brought this up by now . . is it possible there's something you're missing from the original article? Not implying you are, but it feels too easy :]

yes, anything with a network interface has a MAC address assigned to it. This includes digital cable boxes, cellphones, network adapters, gaming consoles, really anything that can be networked.
