A service that provides a URL for a song. Right now if I write a tweet or a blog post that links to a song there is at least a 10% chance (even if to is an official post by the artist) that a few weeks from now the URL will be bad. Some official service that the label can update when it decides to change it's "official streaming partner" would be great. Perhaps it can be done without the cooperating of the artists/la…
A paid Linux. To get stunning UX design, upstream bugfixing and excellent marketing. Let me explain myself. I love the levels of ergonomy and polish of Mac OS X. But it's closed-source software. If I use (and pay) Ubuntu, then great patches are sent upstream, which I can use in Debian on my servers and Arduinos. It becomes useful to everyone. With Mac OS X, we're not advancing the world. But when I used Ubuntu for wo…
1) More high quality news analysis content. Think NASA Earth Observatory, The Information, or the best articles you've ever read, and put them behind a paywall. Consistently making top notch content is hard, but I suspect it can be easier if writers are paid good wages to explore their interests and the news industry decouples itself from advertising. I'd pay for it, and I suspect that over time, enough people would.…
What kind of exercises? If you're not doing e.g. deadlifts, rows, facepulls, squats, etc., you're likely wasting your time. There's no better way to increase overall stability and muscle tonus than hypertrophy. And there's no better way to drive hypertrophy than progressive overload with weighted movements.

The watches are really beautiful. I feel like there should be a bigger market if the costs are 10-50x cheaper.

Why not link to Shazam's page for a song? It seems pretty static to me and includes other semi-useful information, including links to online music stores and youtube. Example: http://www.shazam.com/track/52242019/wait-so-long

That's a pretty neat watch. Almost looks like a digital display rather than a mechanical device.
They should have build WatchOS from the ground up on a circular/rotational concept, embracing form factor as a distinct form, rather than trying to do iPhone-on-your-wrist.
Missed opportunity, as this watch shows.

I wonder how long before Apple acquires this company.
A PowerPoint replacement: * multiplatform editor * portable output in HTML/CSS/JS * zooming and rotating à la Prezi (in addition to silly classic frame transitions that I never use) * native support for SVG don't make me export to a bitmap no need for a native editor (SmartArt) when it can't beat Inkscape * clipart, image and template library (drag&drop) both a free one like openclipart.org and a subscription-based p…

Which performance aspects of the FJ40 aren't addressed by modern 4WDs? Is it just nostalgia? Or do you genuinely want a car that has readily removable doors and windscreen?
What I'd like from the 40-series:
- A no-nonsense materials and rawer, more authetntic appearance. - Less injection molding, obvious ways to remove major panels - An upright sitting position with small pillars and great visibility - Authentic small details, like kick-vents, metal bumpers, metal handles - AK47-like reliability
The old pull knobs were great for tactile feedback when selecting various options and looked fantastic. I can imagine a modern take on that that incorporates the old, tactile UX with a USB-port/Phone app combination that gives you more information and control, allows you to play music (why have a stereo?) utilize a HUD for maps, etc. The phone would provide the additional brains and the vehicle would function fine without it.
There are additional details to get right, such as allowing natural materials to transition between one another (glass, rubber, metal) rather than having class slam into injection-molded plastic in a hidden, impossible to get to fold, and so on.
As I said, this is a very long story. :)
