Infographic for Capturing Project Success

Probably exists already, but I've never seen it.. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to refer to past projects in your company (including the commercially successful ones) like this?

The circle is the planned or forecast value.

Google Maps++

Exists already?

If you know you're sending the user to a state park and you're being launched from an email that clearly reeks of "appointment" - so you can guess he's going on a hike, then you should also think about and report the time it'll take to park and then get to the trail head to meet your party.

Come on Larry.. easy one.

Company Genesis Visualization Tool

Wouldn't it be nice to see on a world map spokes showing where the key founders were born and where they studied - you'll see line segments per founder showing their trajectory..

Here's Google. It would also be nice to have a movie showing grown - as new offices are created and attract talent..

Pythoners out there, make it happen please :)

Come on Nanotech! The 3D Printer We Really Need

Wouldn't it be nice to bypass big pharma and make the drug you need on demand - at the doctor's office of course :) This machine ain't going to be cheap :)

Wiki Style MLS

How many of you have the same complaint?

Buyer's agent sends you some listings - you can barely read the listing - you have to dig for every scrap of info. You show up and you're underwhelmed or flat out disappointed because, if you knew about things - like the floorplan, etc, you'd have passed in the first place.

What can we do?

Tensorflow Set to Upend Hardware Verification

I'm sure TF can go through your legacy testbenches and figure out how to verify your new design. Tessolve might have to say goodbye to their new ventures.

nVidia GPU Egg Fryer

Remember SETI running out of compute power and outsourcing computations to citizens' screensavers?

Why not national labs do the same things with nVidia GPUs - you buy a GPU and use it when someone needs some computational work done - the heat generated fries your egg.

Think about it - the Carnot cycle - you generate heat - which then boils water and the steam does the mechanical work - and you have to use a coolant to get back to water so you can repeat. Key point in this new idea is that your coolant is the egg that's been sitting cool in the fridge.
