    As the guy who invented the strawberry and let it slip into the public domain (who ever thought a clump of red seeds would take off), I'm not so sure I'd want to just give away any new idea I had.


    For example, my first thought was to suggest Google develop an automated process to enable end users to search for specific unknown sites using no more than keywords and phrases, kind of like a universal search routine for the web. I mean, if anyone could do it, Google could. But then I figured... am I about the make the same mistake twice? Besides, anyone with enough motivation can just use Archie and pretty much find anything they want.

    I wish the people who created the software that I use all day would have at some point accepted input from users instead of just the software engineers who created it.

    I've said it for years: portable wearable air conditioner. Make one and get rich.


    Oh, btw, for shame google, for shame.

    Big hairy deal. Apple and Microsoft (among others) saves money by having paying customers work out the kinks in rev1 hardware.


    It's good to see Google following industry practices.

    @medopal: Ever notice how people who watch a lot of TV will act as if they're in a sitcom or a soap opera?

    @Jrsy is the dude, playing the dude, disguised as another du...: Just your basic garden variety type insanity. I have been judged by a professional to be "reasonably stable". (WTF that means I am not sure.)

    @Curves: It means stable enough to function in society until such time as an event or situation triggers an instant nuclear meltdown...


    So basically no better or worse than the majority of us..

    The exact second I finished reading this article, I heard the tagline from the commercial playing on my tv... "Charter, The best reality out there". Whatever happened to tv being an escape from reality, not a substitute for it?

    And the world's happiest scoff while reading articles such as these on the Internet. That is the antithesis, right? Happy = web?


    I sure as hell hope so.
