A decent portable computer. Obscenely large, replaceable battery. small screen (1080p or 720p at 10~13in) that i can actually slide up when open so i don't have to look down and kill my neck/back. decent mechanical keyboard at least 90% size (like the eeepc1000) it can be low on CPU but should have the most connectivity it can. It can weight a little more than a 15" gaming laptop weights today.
Instead of building, strengthen the independent pipe which is responsible for flowing the data/information across the Internet. I am talking about RSS. I wish more technical and policy people would consider supporting, or reviving, the RSS. RSS is practically not owned by anyone (like how email flows from one platform to another without ownership restrictions). The modern API world has proliferated silos and boundari…
But, I would love it if RSS made a huge comeback. Twitter, facebook, Instagram, etc., I'd love it if I didn't have to open any of them, but could still follow my friends posts. There's no technical reason for them to be walled gardens, only business reasons, which are at odds with my privacy and general happiness.

Is it just nostalgia? Or do you genuinely want a car that has readily removable doors and windscreen?
If every urban commuter biker had this w/ phone+gps app, the dataset over time would become very interesting on many levels. Think local governments, real estate, state tranpo authorities etc.
An operating system which is a mix of OSX UI, Linux flexibility, FreeBSD network stack, and OpenBSD security. It doesn't need NetBSD compatibility nor anything from Windows. :)
I do read though, mostly offline. Books, newspapers and articles. My focus is better offline.
Combining data mining and my offline focus, it would be great if you could make a tool that categorizes my instapaper articles and converts it to theme numbers (big data, health care, artificial intelligence, food, etc) that can be downloaded in pdf.
Would be so cool! Thanks for asking the question.
Even greater would be if battles had to be waged in real-life like sports events.

After weeks of Microsoft bouncing every mail our server sent to any of their mail properties (due to, I guess, some history on the IP before we owned it), I have begun to doubt the premise that no one owns email. The major providers can make your mail server useless to 20%, or more, of email recipients. That's a pretty big club to wield. (I understand why a mail provider would block, and I've instituted IP-based bloc…
Then pay them! Hosting fees are not gratis.
I wish someone would build "Thunderbird" as a chrome application... Right now, there's not really a good multi-site email applciation... even if it were limited to IMAP, or on-server. Not sure what the limits on localStorage or indexedDB are for chrome apps. Would be happy if it stored the credentials online somehow allowing me to use it wherever. That's what I'd like to see, though I get most of what I need with web…
