A pure monitor and multiple streaming boxes. A master media player, and all other media player/cable boxes able to operate as a slave to the master. Any box can assume the role of master, but the master controls which channels I watch, not the the slaves. I want one remote control that lets me flick between all the channels and adjust the volume on the audio system, also a slave. And I can have many of them connected also.
If there is one thing I can't stand about the entertainment systems of today is the need to have 4 (my brother has 7) bloody remote controls. And having to set the TV to one input and watch a channel over there. Then switch to another channel on another entertainment device. Oh, and I want to be able to listen to a "CD" off an MP3 player while I watch the football on the monitor.
How about change cellular networks to be about data, and voice just one app that runs on our smart devices. The app (lets call it VoIP) then chooses the best network to make the voice connection - the wireless network provided by the telco or the wireless network provided by my wireless modem router connected to ADSL (or NBN in Australia's case - yeah right).
Most business owners/managers have a better relationship with their mechanic than with their IT people. And why not, the Mercedes (insert any other prestige vehicle here if desired) parked in the MD's parking spot is considered a far more valuable asset to the business than IT. At least that's my exerience.

They wouldn't chaff their asses on that letter while they currently enjoy the softness and strength of the constitution.

and therefore what a perfect opportunity to exercise their power. Boggles the mind what the jury are thinking.
