How about transparent post-it notes that you can stick on the crossword puzzle and write on - to make your attempt at the puzzle before giving it to someone else.

Revamping Indian Education

Why is it that the third world - especially India - hasn't shown facility with developing new technology? Have you seen as truly world class product come out of India? Something new? For all the talk of software, I haven't seen one program that I knew was made in India. Why do we sweat and toil for our white masters? Why this lack of prestige? My solution - change the system. Get top name professors from leading institutions like Harvard and MIT and Berkeley to relocate to Indian universities. Now I don't mean Indian professors - oh no. They're good, but we already have good Indian professors - and the systems just gets worse. We need western professors. We need to find out what they need to be willing to relocate. Less pollution, more facilities, whatever. We might have to design cities from scratch. But, it will be well worth it.

Gmail - tagging

Gmail is pretty good as it is. But, how about they let us tag email threads with some keywords. It's not that hard - you could always forward one of the messages to yourself and put the tag words, but they could make it easier. Say you are looking for some information. You do a search, but don't find it. Then, you remember something and do a different search and then you find it. It would be nice to now be able to tag this thread you just found with a couple of words that would make it show up with the first search. Wouldn't it?

On Demand iPhone Videos

Wonder if this is viable - a service that gives you useful on-demand videos on your i-Phone. Say you need to know how to jumpstart your car or help someone who's just had a stroke, etc. Don't have to full-fledged real-life videos. Animations that take about 1/10 of the bandwidth will do.

Who will be the first to embed their car manual as video with a usb-out that you could connect your iPhone or iPod to to watch useful sections of the car manual?
