A voting system based on the Peer-to-Peer Electronic Cash System behind Bitcoin. The major reasons votes couldn't be conducted electronically is because of trust issues and today we have a technology that solves that. I think this could potentially disrupt voting if properly executed.

> "I'd really love a browser extension that could keep track of how the user reached a given site." I used to love to have this. I called it "browser history", but then Mozilla decided it made the browser so terribly slow that you can now no longer really configure how long history is retained. After a while it just disappears. I used to have my history all the way back from 2006...
Is this true? I checked and I seemed to have lost my history from before 2012, and assumed I'd messed up somewhere in transitioning between computers. I couldn't find any info about Firefox doing this (arbitrarily deleting history from the past), but I'm almost sure it does. Edit: This time I found it: https://wiki.mozilla.org/Firefox/Projects/Places_async_expir... I find it rather annoying, however, that this isn't…
An app that allows you to have a meeting with someone anytime both of you're available for the meeting. So it's schedule-less. Example: You want to talk to Paul. Paul wants to talk to you. But not as much. Paul is ranked "a1" in your book and you are ranked "b5" in Paul's book. Paul notes that he is in a "b5 and above" time period. Maybe he just got done exercise so he is more interested in talking to anyone (you are…

Open University. A massive repository of all books needed for any career. No teachers, no videos, no homework, nothing, just the books, free, forever.

So you'll have a limited choice to choose from.
But personally I'm hoping they can make them a bit less rough and more of that smooth "Hummmm" you associate with luxury cars.
A notepad that can send my handwritten notes to the cloud. It should have a mini-scaner embedded into the top cover so when I want to backup a note, I just close the notepad, push the cover, remove the first page, close, push again. None of these ipad apps can substitute the good old pencil drawings
Why not just photograph your notepad with your smartphone?
A cheap hardwire device that I can take to the gym and not worry about breaking it. There are lot's of great workout tracking apps but I won't risk having my expensive smart phone smashed in order to record my workouts. I see more people using pen and paper even with all the amazing apps out there.
A way to submit any legal document, and for a fee have it returned but explained in plain english. What do you guys think about this? And what do you think are the most common use cases/legal documents?
SNARK: I understood this to be called a "lawyer".
NOT SNARK: Legal language is so recondite, complex, and heavily dependent on external dependencies defined elsewhere, that short of very smart AGI I despair of there ever being a programmatic way to translate between legalese and plain language with any hope of maintaining fidelity -- and, given the import which legal documents tend to have, a bad translation may well be worse than none at all.
