A recent post pointed out a slick new South Korean cell phone with fingerprint recognition; it can speed-dial 10 people by reading each of a user's fingerprints.

None of these questions are likely to be answered any time soon. Making phone calls over the Web (also known by the acronym VOIP, for Voice Over Internet Protocol) is one of those radical new technologies that surely will change our lives...
