The overlooked point that both the ipod and the blackberry have gotten but most manufactures seem to ignore, is that the device doesn't really need much of a screen, imagine for a moment if your cell phone WAS your computer and spoke wirelessly to the keyboard and screen at your office and at home. A general purpose computer in your pocket with decent storage would be worth having. And is clearly not very far away.
Can someone perhaps more closely involved with an ISP explain why hasn't there been a more concerted effort to limit the number of emails that can originate from a particular email address.
I would assume that very few individuals send a large number of emails and that any reputable organization would not mind the inconviniece of a more formal proccess, perhaps akin to the registration of domain names.
This would allow oversight without uneccessary intrusion into most users privacy.
Of course should an individual wish to send large numbers of emails he or she would have to weigh the advantage of this privilege against the potential intrusion posed by the registation proccess.
Could someone point out to me the where a solution of this sort would break down?

More importantly, how are we going to insure our supply of FPGA's? Who runs Xilinx?
No, math is poetry, physics is just journalism :)
