One-third of the 30 billion e-mails sent worldwide each day are spam
That's 10 billion daily pitches for herbal Viagra, Nigerian scams, and genital-enlarging creams piling up in our inboxes. Neither legislation nor litigation against spammers has stemmed the tide, and they're not going to have much of an effect in the future, either.

I suppose fans of the superspy James Bond are no strangers to explosive gadgets, but a self-destructing DVD!? MGM sent out over over 5,000 promo discs this week as a preview for the upcoming Bond flick Die Another Day, but there's a catch. If you want to check out the 25-odd minutes of cool material included on the DVD, you may want to stand back after you put it in your player. As the tag on the mailer warns, "Once removed from its packaging, the DVD will self-destruct in 36 hours!"
