What is on Your Mind?

Well, many technologies that were once thought they would be helpful to humanity are nowadays used to do harm as well. :/

PS: And I'd love to have a Jetpack.

By wireless power I don't mean glorified train tracks. It should have an efficient range of at least feet, not inches... This is essentially an open-air transformer, which fundamentally limits the range and/or power because the majority of the field won't be going through your receiver. Huge amounts of waste and dropoff would be involved unless you were actually *right next* to the coil (preferably right flat up against it, holding something ferrous between you and it). Most energy would go into polarizing the walls and air instead.

We are in perennial need of lots of RAM. No more I/O latency to disk, just enough for all our databases to be in memory, and our swap space too.

Swap space in RAM? What's the point of that?

Any file which is not needed can be stored in a readily available section of memory instead of the disk. Perhaps I meant cache. These are statements one makes when not as well informed in computer architecture matters.
Or any technology advancement that gives a step up in performance.

I thought the fast travel thing was a cool. But now that you brought up the kind of harm it can do. I started thinking of WTF moments. Eg you were meant to go to destination A but instead land in destination B. Or worse you were "accidentally" left on some mountain, building, 500 feet off the ground...

(This reminds me of Star Trek.)

Wow, that keyboard is pretty interesting...

Would love to combine that with that new AIR MX mouse i've seen someone post up on this site.
Logitech - MX Air Rechargeable Cordless Air Mouse

That would be awesome

Also something I'm liking at the moment are all the xbox360 kinect hacks going around, some really exciting stuff there!
