Better Android

How about a self-destructing contact thing? Let me explain.

You're shopping for furtiture on craigslist, or stores. You call a bunch of numbers. Some of these people will call you back, or you yourself might follow up on some of those calls. So, why not be able to create a temporary contact, with a couple details ("coffee table belmont" or "92 Civic Oakland", you get the idea). These should be on your contact list for a user specified time. After that, they should be invisible, but available for maybe 30 days, then be deleted automatically. Nice? Get that Nobel Prize ready.

Better Droid Email App

When you're in the message inbox, why not define a two-finger touch on an email to be "Select" instead of opening it up and consuming network resources? Now, once selected, you can enable some actions like delete, forward, etc. Much more efficient than opening it up and the scrolling all the way down for Reply, Forward, etc.

Make sense GOOG?

Cadence Operating System

This would be good to have. Considering every interaction with Cadence can be captured as a command, I really wish Cadence would come out with an operating system for PCs. Then, I could automate everything.

Your Personal Organic Intelligent Agent

If a problem is well-defined, an intelligent person can solve it, not alone, but with help - which help will be part of the solution. Using natural-language processing, a computer can also do this. This will be the basis of Google's new consulting business.

So far, Google has only gone after established, mainstream, tangible businesses and products - online search and advertising, email, etc. They took their time getting into consumer electronics and will eventually be more than a force to reckon with.

What the guardians of capitalistic oligarchism, like Goldman Sachs and the other evils, need to understand is that the "don't be evil" motto will eventually lead Google into realms where overcompensation is the norm and confusion is the modus operandi. The public are being led to a shambles with each merger and acquisition with investment banks getting away with murderous fees and levies. This cannot, will not and should not go on any longer than the first of April.

Like a newborn is functionally useless, but grows to become very powerful, with the proper rearing, so, your organic intelligent agent will grow from within - using language skills to explore its boundaries, being nurtured always by a foster consultant. Eventually, the consultant is no longer a parent but a manager, concerned no more with the growth of the child, but with the results being generated.

You have been warned.

Unlocnch

Okay, you get access to your device by dragging your finger across the screen to enter your secret pattern. I've got a better idea. When you want to record a conversation, how about you enter another code into your locked phone that will unlock and launch the recorder app? Shouldn't be hard to do at all.

Better yet, launch the secret app in the background, but launch a text messenger app in the foreground as a decoy. People think your checking mail or texting, etc.
