Moving desktop.

It'd be nice if the wallpaper on your computer could move, like maybe a screensaver or video or gif or whatever, and you could still click the links like normal. Kind of how this site looks: http://1stavemachine.com/.

Vocab lessons with film/music

Generally the best way to improve one's vocabulary is to constantly read books. But books aren't the only places for big words. Imagine taking clips from movies and songs that use advanced vocabulary and editing them together into audio/video lessons. That would be neat.

Old songs. New videos.

I would like to see music video directors make videos for older songs, especially songs before the music video era. Or maybe re-interpretations of older music videos.

Surgical mask bra

Duh, gotta be thinking ahead for my next sexy halloween costume.

A clear phone?

I want my phone to combine the camera feature and simultaneously allow me to keep a layer of interface at the same time, so I can look stuff up or text people while walking and still see where I'm going.

Samples database

It's a wiki where people can identify samples in songs. It would be a searchable database as well.

TinyURL.

A downloadable thing from TinyURL that automatically copies all links as TinyURLs.

Song lyrics

Written entirely with YouTube comments.

Hibachi stand-up.

I would pay money to see a Hibachi chef stand-up comic who includes his grill in his act. This is my second Hibachi chef-themed post.

Also, I would like it if there was, like, an option to eat at those restaurants in a separate section where you don't have to put up with another iteration of the show and be able to talk to the person next to you.

Lower denomination bills in ATMs

For when you need to pay for parking and other things that require small bills.

eating utensils

that taste like meals. for when you want just a taste.

also, noisy foods made quieter. this will allow me to eat all the corn nuts i want when i go to the movies without getting punched in the face.

Screening.

Old answering machines let you hear the message as it was being made and, should you so choose, could let you pick up the call as they were still leaving the message. Maybe do this with voicemail? Hear the message as it's being made and 'hello!' as need be.

Notes on website.

It'd be nice if browsers let you make notes for specific websites. If you leave a site, when you come back, the note will be there and give you information that you for some reason wanted to remember. For instance, if you were looking for an apartment on one site and found out it had a 55% rating on another site, or wanted to note how close it was to other things, you could write it on the one page so you could compare it to all the others.

Kasey says.

A clock that squeaks instead of ticks so you'll never hear the mice in your apartment.

Desktop background.

I just wish there was a simple 'reverse' or '90 degree angle' option to the Mac choose desktop background screen. That's all.

Music video mixes.

I'd like to see somebody, anybody, maybe on that MTV music video site to start putting together music video mixes. To find a group of videos that tell a linear story or what have you. I'd eat that shit up.

iPhone stress ball.

Upload a picture of your boss, coworker, friend you no longer like, etc. and using the complex algorithms and magnetics that technology is made of, when you swing or punch your hand while holding your iPhone, it will bruise the picture and make groan-y sounds. The more you punch, the more beat they is.

Japanese Capsule Hotels At The Airport

I had a five-hour layover after sleeping three hours and before a seven hour flight.

Make your own baseball cards

I want to be able to make my own baseball cards using official design templates from card manufacturers like Topps and Upper Deck. There is already a site for this (MyTradingCards.com) but the templates don't look authentic, even though it seems they got permission from Topps to use them. The typefaces are all wrong and you can't even adjust the size of the text to make sure your name fits on the card. I want the option to add a custom team logo. On that site you can purchase your customized card and get it in the mail, which is cool, but you should have the option of getting a free JPEG of your card.

At the very least, there should be something like that Yearbook Yourself site where you upload a head shot and customize your name on an existing player card.

Disposable computers.

I don't expect this to happen but, hey, a few years, right. The same ideas as disposable phones. Need to use it for a brief amount of time, comes cheap, not really designed to last. No real capability other than limited surfing and lookin' at things. You left your laptop at home, want to have something to last you a brief while. You want to send out portfolios or presentations to employers, clients, whatever. Oh, it sounds crazy now, but you'll see. You'll see.

Parachutes on Commercial Planes

In the array of flotation devices and masks and the like to "save my life" (yeah, right) in a plane crash, there was no parachute, a thing that actually could save my life. Am I missing something?

Text Messages to 911

If you're, say, hiding in a closet in your house while a murderer is stalking your halls, wouldn't it be nice to not have to actually speak to the 911 operator to tell them to come save you from the man with a big knife who just heard you because they made you say your address and now you're dead.
