How About That for a Cool Aerospace Engg PhD?

We have good drones today. The disillusioned US born Bangladeshi guy who was going to RC controlled planes loaded with explosives into the Pentagon found fixed wing aircraft that could do 600 mph.

So? Here's the proposal :

we put an end to aviation disasters by sending fixed-wing drones to intercept civilian (or military) aircraft in trouble and provide the necessary resource. For example, if one out of two engines is dead and that's going to make the landing dicey, you can get a drone to deliver an engine that can attach to the tip of the wing on which the bad engine is, and ensure the plane is stabilized for a good landing.

You've probably thought up better ideas already. Go!

Upcoming Application of AI : Smart Video Playback

A still from a YouTube video of a tech talk :

How cool would this be? The video was shot with minimal resolution - good. It's being streamed at 240p, good - save bandwidth. Now, you can make out, despite the poor resolution, what's actually being conveyed. So, in principle, you can build up your own cleaned-up version of this slide that's high resolution. How long do you think it'll be before we have a video player that offers this kind of enhanced playback using AI?

If Not Apple, then Who the H Owns This?

Okay, you know AAPL went after Samsung when S let users tap on a phone number to call that number on their smartphone.

Why can't the idiots Cook and BeeHive implement this one :

When you start typing your one phone number in an email - autocomplete the damn thing! Please!!

Super simple.. and still not available. Your own phone should know it's own number. Damn!

Please Google, YouTubify Blogger!

Why not show the number of views in the public view of the blog, for each post that is. Also, make it easy to find a blog's most viewed post!

Low Hanging F : A Fatter Ca$h Cow for M$

You have employees. You want any doc they create using the Office tools you give them to be watermarked - no Choice!!

How? Easy - you purchase a special flavour of M$ Office.

Make it happen Satya.

Uber, VanMile, ... it's Here, the Next Big Thing. Now, Go Build It

What?

A platform - for experts on call.

You're a handyman. You're not always occupied. So you offer your services remotely. When you're free, you sign into the app - that's right, just like Uber. You see a call - someone wants help unclogging their toilet - they'll pay you $5 for five minutes of help.

You see a call - someone's at Home Depot and isn't sure what they should buy to solve their home improvement problem. They'll offer $2 for two minutes of help.

You're a homeowner who doesn't want to pay the plumber's trip charge. You're sure you can solve this nuisance yourself for 20 bucks. So you put out a call on the app.

What do you need?

I recommend both sides have a VR headset that also has a camera - that way, you can easily see and show.

I think this is worth doing.

Hmmm... considering 6ya already exists, looks like this needs to be Facebooked - considering how Myspace already existed... what did Facebook do differently?

Oh For a Grown Up Version of Micro$oft Outlook!

How about letting users save *their* preferences for receiving mail from *you* so that, when you're sending a link to a file, Outlook can tell you : "x and 2 others in your send-to list would prefer the actual document rather than the link. Would you like to send them the attachment?"

Why not?

Of course, with Google Drive, things are easy - the link is always available. M$ trolls say they want to be able to look at the file on their phone on the plane and Sharepoint doesn't let them do that. Makes sense.

You know what we need? We need the second coming of Linux Torvalds. We need someone to create a framework for a new society where we use an open source version of Google (and doesn't feed you ads), an os version of Facebook, which doesn't feed you ads and fake news, an os version of AMZN, an os version of LinkedIn. M$ is not the evil empire anymore - at least, not the only evil empire..
