I can force 2D hardware acceleration, overclock and underclock my CPU and GPU, tether my phone for free, removed tracking software, using the latest ICS ROM even though it hasn't been released for my phone yet, and undervolt my CPU.

I would like to update to ICS and remove tracking software for sure. Will look into rooting more. :) Your list makes it sound much more appealing.
