I bought trekdesk (http://www.trekdesk.com) and I use it walking about 1.3 mph.

It would be ironic if they actually did the attack considering their current government website is about as sophisticated as a circa 1999 mom and pop e-tailer.

The next big user interface: your car windshield. The windshield communicates with billboards that look empty from outside your car to beam images appropriate for your consumer tastes and demographic. In addition you will be able to interact with various mediums: webmail, ipod, video conferencing etc when your car is fully stopped. It goes on from there.

Aside from the usual self enrichment activities. I would set up a foundation that does many small unique services to a community. Examples: Go around to different communities to offer free construction to link up sidewalks to make it more pedestrian friendly. Consulting and financing to small shoppes so they can stay unique and viable against large competitors. Setup free clinics that solely cater to helping people sleep more restfully.
