It's sad that cell phone calls often command more importance than the conversations in which we're engaged. If a phone could detect when a person is in a conversation and disable its ringer, forwarding the call to voice mail or putting the caller on hold, face to face conversations wouldn't get interrupted. This would prevent conversations from being unnecessarily interrupted.
traffic signals, signs, and notifications were beamed directly to an indicator in your car

If there was a universal wireless standard that transmitted traffic information, such as whether a traffic light is red or green, directly to a console or heads up display within each car, eventually the bulky infrastructure currently required for traffic lights could be hugely reduced.
There was a way to fluidly send emails of web-pages that included screenshots or freeze copies.
Posted in It Would Be Nice If ... by operations 153 days ago ( )
All the options I've found or have used failed to provide the fluid smart functionality I'm looking for. So far Iterasi is the most powerful option I know of. But it lacks that extra touch of ease I'm looking for. Otherwise it goes above & beyond with regards to providing a screenshot, since it provides a whole freeze duplicate of the page as I saw it.
Google Maps included a date stamp on its satellite imagery

I'd like to know the specific day on which some of that imagery was taken. It seems like simple thing to implement, I wonder why they don't?

Imagine if you will, a website that no matter who you are, you can join it free of charge, by invitation, spend 1 dollar a day and or create content of your own for sale, and or, invest into someone else's content and idea by vote, and have it pay you back 7-by-4 fold and more, for your contributions. All you have to do is find 4 then, teach, train, and mentor those in your down-line how to do th
There was a way to sync my starred Google reader items to my TV for later viewing.
Posted in It Would Be Nice If ... by ajgiampa 169 days ago ( )
Throughout the day, I star 20-30 items on Google reader to read and, in the case of those items that include video, watch later in the day. It would be nice if these "starred" items would somehow sync to an interface on my TV that I could access via an app and interface with...
The 3G data plan on a cell phone could be carried over to an iPad or other device

Posted in It Would Be Nice If ... by admin 179 days ago ( )There was an interface to automatically trigger a car's turn signal from GPS devices
Posted in It Would Be Nice If ... by ajgiampa 182 days ago ( )
This would allow the GPS to enable the turn signal without the driver needing to do so. The signal would always be enabled at a precise distance before the turn, thus eliminating the tendency of some drivers to forget to signal. The interface would have to be universal across all GPS device and car brands.

Considering the increasing amount of data we consume while driving from devices like personal media players, GPS, and the car itself, it would be nice to have it all transparently projected on the windshield rather than on peripheral screen that require the driver to take their eyes off the road.
