I have an almost 4 year old who I've already been playing around with on google to find out information on animals like wombats, etc. Your service looks very interesting with nice graphics, but I wonder about its ability to really control web usage. What would stop children from simply opening up Firefox or IE and circumventing your browser? Do you have a way to handle this?

Pikluk is not just a browser, it can serve as a locked-down Windows shell with disabled Ctrl+Alt+Delete and Alt-Tab, taking over 100% of real estate on all monitors, etc.

Couldn't a clever kid just hit the hardware reset button? I guess you'd have to have a windows password too.

I think it's a great idea. And for kids trying to get around it, I welcome all those little hackers learning tons about computers.
