UK service provider Telewest Broadband is testing a system that enables e-mails to activate an odor-generating peripheral device. It's hard to imagine a more obviously bad idea -- allowing strangers to activate smells in your home or office.

What about porn spam -- what will THAT smell like? Marketers: Get a grip. Nobody wants ads that stink.
