That's not a bad feature for a mail client at all.
I intentionally reply in email to people who send me facebook messages. Facebook is so primitive compared to even old email clients.
I have some 1920x1200 16:10 monitors for exactly that reason... I was holding onto a couple 4:3 for exactly the reason you mention, but with 1200 vertical pixels i was finally swayed... plus it was getting harder to find good 4:3 monitors.
In particular, 16:9 is terrible for old FPS games.
Your work on this is fascinating to me, thank you for sharing it. I watched the entire talk. The crypto part really is an embarrassment for Sony.
For me, It'll be interesting to see a Linux and homebrew software with full RSX access, which for a lot of people was the original goal of hacking on the PS3 to begin with.
