A better, no hassles international payment gateway (I know Paypal exists, but I am not their fan)
Amazon payments seems to be fairly non-sleazy.
But also decidedly non-international :(

#126Speech Recognition. Enough said!
Thought recognition would be much more useful. And a bit scary.

I often wish I had a huge LED board on top of my car, so I could send messages to other drivers: * "Your allowed to drive 120km/h here, your doing 95!" * "The right lane is free you know!" (replace with left lane in rhd countries ;) ) etc...

#129Digital receipts - I hardly need to carry cash anymore, pretty much everywhere I shop takes chip-n-pin cards so I use my debit card to pay for most things. However, what you end up with is silly bits of paper that I end up carrying round in my wallet or stuffed into folders at work or at home. Why can't my payment card contain an identifier that allows the bank to send me a digitally signed receipt - I could get noti…
YMMV, but here's what I do:
If it's a personal expense (90% of my purchases) I immediately throw the receipt away.
If it's a business expense, I take a picture on my cellphone, tag it in Evernote, and throw the receipt away. This used to take me about 3 minutes (awkward) but now I can do it while I'm walking, so it adds no time burden to my day.
Receipts of any kind are obsolete, IMHO.

#130A better way to communicate between cars -- honking a horn seems kind of stone age at this point.
This is interesting, what sort of thing did you have in mind? I think a horn is more about communicating between drivers, not cars, and seems like an good solution for this.. In the "hey, im here!" sense, rather than "hey, fuck you buddy!". It provides an alert and rough location that doesn't require much processing by the driver.
Here are some things that I've wanted to communicate to other drivers:
"You might want to check the air pressure in your right rear tire, it's riding dangerously low"
"Your left turn signal's been on for three miles"
"Your gas cap is off"
"The speed limit in this section of road is 45mph"
"Your coffee mug is on the rear bumper"
etc.
