High Tech University

Here's my concept for a new university. GOOG should put in $1b to fund this.

Offer reverse engineering services - which require all kinds of fancy equipment. The idea - kids working on reverse engineering the latest stuff are now ready to extend the state of the art. How can you beat this?

Cops as School Teachers

Cops on the nasty school may be able to curb some issues.. But, do kids really get the benefits?

How about having cops who have a passion for teaching, and can use their enforcement skills when called upon to do so?

If you see a cop trying to teach you math because he truly knows how much in your interest it is to master the basic skills, you might actually pay attention. You think?

The Version of Alexa that Goldman Sachs Wants AMZN to Make

I just assume the folks at GS are busier than the rest of us mere mortals. So, if I could use this one, I'm sure they'd love it as well..

Your presence is required in a meeting you can join via Skype. Okay. Now, you, like the successful millionaires at GS want to multitask. So, here's the wish list :

You want to be able to mute the sound.
You want to be able to mute your microphone.
When your name is mentioned, you want the preceding speech transcribed and showing up on the screen - of the PC and your phone. You might step away from the desk, so you want to be able to get the alert on both devices.
Your name might be mentioned as "That's what I was told by Robert" OR "Isn't that the case Robert?" OR "Robert? Did you hear from XYZ?" You get the idea. You don't really want to be in this meeting, but, when you need to be, you need to be clued in - the question needs to be available visually so you can quickly get in the game.
So, there's got to be bluetooth connectivity so YOU don't have to listen but your gadget needs to.
There's got to be an alert mechanism.
Using machine learning or other AI, it should be able to predict, even before the question arises that the 2 principal interlocutors will soon be calling on a third party.
Nice? Go for it Goldman Jocks!
