Right, how about rebundling the products more than every five years? It's a d*mn chore to download each and every incremental patch when you're installing in bulk. Compared to all OSS products that distribute the latest version and sometimes patches. Especially annoying with security patches as you'll be holding your breath hoping that nothing hits you while IE is mulling over microsoftupdate. Microsoft way of rebundling is releasing a new full version, which means you'll be inserting coins to get it.
So, rather than dismissing claims of Vistas dystopian DRM-landscape they just make ad hominem attacks on mr Gutmann and his work. Right. Now move along , nothing to see here, especially if you're using Vista.:-)
I used to have a Treo 270 and run Onager over GPRS to control mldonkey which is a general P2P-tool that also handles bittorrent. That was like five years ago..
Though it didn't last too long; mldonkey evolved faster than onager.
Every phone since then has included a webbrowser that you can use to control, for example, mldonkey over a web interface.
Your laptop is almost totally different inside:-) Most notably your laptop has intel chipset and DDR2 memories. Medisons VIA cheapo-chipset and older DDR1 memories.

The post office _must_ charge someone for delivering printed email. I'm quite sure that the post office isn't a charity foundation.
I don't think they can charge the receiver without his/her approval, so just disagree and they can't do much about it. (can they? I'm no legal expert)
If the sender pays for sent mail, fine. Let the spammers pay. Sending 5 million emails $1 each is a nice retribution for the f***ers:-)
Since I haven't seen SMTP support 'sending fees', I'd guess that the post office will use its own so-called email. Like a www-form you can fill your message (and credit card number) in. That can be more difficult to spam with.
