#62A computer I could hang on the wall in the bathroom or kitchen that just displays tasks/reminders for the day.
You know, a simple dashboard to start the day.

#63Chatterous.com Rather than rehash why I would.. I explained it not long back here: http://www.errant.me.uk/blog/2009/03/dont-ignore-the-donator... How much? At the moment Chatterous is probably worth... $50 a month to me - and probably more to the company I work at. EDIT: I realise that verges on linkspam but otherwise I would end up writing an essay on why chatterous should offer "pay for" - and I already did that :…
Yeah, I use this every single day for different circles of work, hobby, friends. I felt it very succinctly when Gtalk went haywire the other day and Chatterous was broken.

#64I'd buy a CDMA iPhone. Forget ATT's slow and spotty GSM 3G. Bring on CDMA RevA.
Totally, its unacceptable that there are so many 3G dead spots in San Francisco of all places!

#65Apartment with a pool in Tampere, Finland. Also I would be more likely to rent a place using a site that actually allowed me to search for apartments from a map. Instant helpful per-minute advice from MySQL/Linux/etc. gurus 24/7 when I need it. Similarly graphic design where I could in a few moments get sketches of things and commission them to be turned into finished works. I don't enjoy hunting for talent on forums…
I am now suddenly aware that I can hear every mouse click within a 5 cubicle radius, and I can't ignore it anymore =(

#66Early users, build something where a person can come to your site, pay $1,000 and get 1,000 active users to stimulate the site activity.
You can use AdWords for that.

#67I want a desktop computer with a docked netbook. The files, programs, and program configuration on the netbook should auto-sinc with the desktop. Large files should be easy to stream from the desktop to the netbook. The netbook needs to have an embedded, fast cell network data connection. I might be able to build this myself with a MacPro, a router, a COTS netbook, hackintosh, dropbox, etc. I'd probably have at least…
I've thought about the same thing myself. (I'll make do with the 24 inch monitors, though. :) I'm surprised the Mac Pro doesn't have a way to dock the air yet, though. There are a lot of usability pieces to think about. Do you really want program configuration to sync? I use programs differently on laptops and desktops.
I use a laptop for my "desktop", so I don't see the problem. I run firefox, terminal, textmate, tweetdeck, and iWork. No configuration changes needed. Maybe for VM software - which I just wouldn't run on a netbook.

#68Decent Mexican food in Europe:-) (BTW, "if it were available") Edit: if I ever 'made it big', and decided to stay in Italy, I'd invest a portion of my money in a good Mexican restaurant here. It would probably lose money, but what the hell.
I'd add, a halfway decent pizza in Havana. When Cuba opens up, the first decent pizza place to go down there is going to make a killing! Seriously, there the pizza is terrible, doesn't matter if you are in Havana, Santiago, or Gerona.

But do the Cubans know that?

#69An online memorial for a dead relative.
A quick google search turns up a glut of these services...are you looking for something different?

#70A service that matches you up with intellectual AND decent looking folks.
Actually I would settle for a site that matches you up with intellectual folks...
