I think a lot of people will agree with me that spending a lot of time in front of a laptop can be a real pain in the neck. Literally! They have the swivel screen, but why don't they have the adjustable height screen? Being able to adjust the screen height, each person can adjust it to their comfort level. This will make everyone pain free and, more importantly, more productive. Better technology is shifting us from bulky PC's to mobile laptops, but why do we have to keep lugging...

Most people know how to play one common instrument - the human voice. Imagine software that could convert a person's whistling or humming into MIDI format (or something similar) - recording the pitch, duration, volume, and decay. Once in a format like MIDI, it can be interchanged with a wide range of virtual instruments, allowing you to command an orchestra without ever having to learn how to play a MIDI keyboard.

I noticed that more and more people are using computers, and that lots of people spend time chatting and surfing the web, or just doing work. I'm sure that the energey used in hitting a button on the keyboard or moving a mouse could create some energy, this power multiplied by millions of people on millions of computers, would generate a lot of power, and it's good for the enviroment.

What about a new low cost terminal, something like the old Commodore 64 but with new features: keyboard with integrated screen (40x10 chars), no hard disk, instead flash memory (1 gig), serial port, USB port, internal modem and thermal printer... that's it. Programmable in Basic, C, Pascal or some other low level language. Lots of small merchants would like the idea of billing (for example) with this low cost terminals, and lots of programmer will have the opportunity of become in...

Don't worry - not what the title may suggest. I propose a site from which members could share abilities. For example: I am in a band. We have made a record, but we need some album art. So in return, we search for an artist to some album art. The artist could be given our music free. Alternatively, a proprietary currency could be used which could be exchanged according to the difficulty/length of the task. This money could be exchanged for real money, allowing people to make money with the...

I would like it if someone made a web search that would find the thing you were looking for off a description. For example, say you wanted to... find a special puzzle that messes with peoples minds. But you couldn't remember what it was called. You could just write a detailed description. And, you see the name of the puzzle and a link to a website that has it.

A site that you can submit reviews of people you've dealt with in any way, i.e. like eBay reviews but for off-eBay transactions (say you bought something off someone on a forum) . Have a variety of sections from Teen Dating to Business Dealings, to Friendships (hey, we could have good reviews too!).

Did you know that standard letters on a keyboard are not set up to make it easier to type but the opposite. They were arranged early in the 1900's to make it the hardest to use for a specific odd reason and that has never changed? If we arrange the letters around and place the letters used most (for instance) at the easiest point to type them then we would have a better and faster keyboard. I say we go a step further and rearrange the entire keyboard (not just letters) and add extra...

Create an online country. New citizens will be allocated a place in society at random. Their status will change through interactions (or lack of them)with other citizens. Once a substantial population is in place political parties will form and there will be referendums and elections, creating a true online democracy.

First of all, I have to say, that my English is not the best, so please don´t blame me. I thought, if it wouldn´t be great to have a software, that could draw a place or Street in 3D, where I could walk virtual through. Bingo, this is Google Earth in the 3D modus, for example in New York. The second part of my idea was, that it would be great to walk for example through the 5th avenue in New York and when you look around in your 3D enviroment, you don´t see just grey block, which are...
