Microsoft had to go out of their way to ADD this "feature".
IE is integrated with the GUI itself, so it's bound to have some extra "functionality" like this. Microsoft designed IE with features, not features specifically for secure browsing
"How much growth is left in the cell phone biz? Once everybody who needs or wants one, has one, I don't see the introduction of a new phone being that big a deal."
Yeah, as if that's ever going to happen. Try saying the same thing about the television industry! I've never been to a house without a television, yet there's a whole section in Future Shop for televisions. Aren't there enough TVs out there?
What about..computers? The vast majority of people who can afford a computer have at least one. Yet I'm sure that if I were to tell half the people here (no insult intended) that nVidia just came out with a graphics card that's 1.00000000001% better than yours you'd go OMGWTF why don't I have that, now I can play WOW with uhhh....the same performance, but, it'd be COOLER! Cool! I'm going to get one.
People have lots of stuff, and more stuff than they'll ever need. Yet getting more stuff, and getting better stuff is just cool and satisfies a need which is embedded in our mindsets. So even if in ten years every Joe down the street has two cellphones, when a new one is released with two more megapixels on the camera and a self-destruct feature, then you bet that the easily hyped portion of the population will go immediately for it, and then social pressures will prompt many others to go as well.
Not to mention that people are being born all the time, and there are so many people out there that you underestimate how much need there really is. New models of cars, computers, gadgets, and anything else that satisfies our desire for having fun will always be in high demand, regardless of what already exists.
No, you're still wasting it. The stuff that goes out because of resistance is a fraction of what you'd get if it were actually used in your heater/stove/etc.

"Meat and poultry will now have no variance at all."
Well yeah, if you cook it the same way every time.
