From Slashdot:
“As you all know, the two things in life you can’t avoid are taxes and death. But if you will no longer have to pay taxes after your death, you will be able to send email thanks to a new service, Mylastemail.com. The Los Angeles Times (free registration needed) says this service will cost you $9.99 for a three-year subscription. The company says you can update your farewell messages from anywhere in the world, including cybercafes or airports.”
Cybercafes and airports, huh? So I guess you’re sitting there waiting for your flight and see a shifty character walk by and onto your plane, better get that last email updated. Oh, and don’t forget that odd tasting latte when sitting in Starbucks — might be your last one.
And how long before people start forging a mail’s “From:” header to look like it came from this site? Way to make someone’s loved ones panic/celebrate unnecessarily.

Unfortunately, the reports of my death are not exaggerated.
