I am working it in stages. I have the first part done: Converting matter into energy. Now I just need to work out how to send it someplace and re-integrate it and no one will need these fancy flying cars!
Until someone can let me select from a list of available channels for $1-$5 (each) a month (think CW to HBO), maybe with a minimum $25 dollar a month charge, this is all just a variant of what is already available. Also, let me watch a marathon of movies that I want no matter how old/new - "Casablanca", "The Thing", "Real Genius", and "Serenity" - for a $1 - $2 each. When someone has that type of service available things will get interesting.
How long before there is a Kickstarter to build an adapter that plugs into the Lightning port and provides Lightning pass through and a 3.5 headphone jack?
How does this work if I want to smoke a slab of ribs, pork shoulder, brisket, etc.? The structure of the cut of meat (muscle, fat, bone) all contribute to the result. Will I end up smoking 'blobs' of meat in my Big Green Egg?
I have my own domain and any email address that does not have a dedicated mailbox gets sent to the admin 'catch-all' mailbox. If I sign up for something anything that wants an email address I usually use businessname@mydomain.com for the address. I get a lot of funny looks when I feed back an email address with their name in it (even had a few people accuse me of attempting to hack their system by doing this!). I just let my email reader filter things to different folders based on the incoming email address. If I see a bunch of spam in one I can send it right back to the business and tell them why I am now blocking their email. I used to do the same thing with my snail mail by modifying the spelling of my street name. If I started getting junk mail to that version, I would take out all the personal info, jam the rest into their pre-paid envelopes and send it back to them.
If it was that easy to pass yourself off as the CEO, why not just say "I want to cash in some of my savings plan. Send it to account XXXXXXXXX. And while your at it, drop the price on all our drives by 65%!"
What is crazy is 'the Big Z' is worrying about 4 billion people not having internet access when there still a 'few' people out there that do not have food, clean water, medicine, etc. If he would take some of his and FaceBooks 'net worth' and use it to address some of those problems first, he might gain a little credibility. I believe you should be allowed to make all the money you can (even with something with as little true value as FaceBook, IMO), but if you want to earn some respect, put a little of it too good use, at home and abroad.
The first 15 minutes explain everything. The average person is not interested in a thought provoking article on a politicians policy on government spending, details on a new medical procedure, or common sense advice on how to eat better. They want to know who the politician slept with (and what techniques they used), how someones plastic surgery went horribly wrong so they look like John Merrick, or what drug they can take to lose weight while stuffing their faces with fast food and Ding Dongs. (Ding Dongs are OK every so often;-) People will buy or watch the latter material and ignore / not understand the other.
Technology created to stop a table saw blade when it contacts skin. Happens fast enough to avoid serious injury. Attempts to sell to major companies fail: They do not want it. Starts his own company and now makes some of the highest rated saws on the market.
I am still trying to figure out how a site that lets you post vacation pictures for the world to see and create virtual cliques of people that you never really associate with, is worth $45 billion.

We just need the theme song from "Ben" to start playing...

Forty years of darkness, earthquakes, volcanoes, human sacrifice, dogs and cats living together.... mass hysteria.
Over here in the US we call that kind of content 'commercials'
Reports say the thieves made their getaway using a silver, late model laptop

Just ask it to compute Pi to the last decimal place. That always works.

Click-jacking. Ha!

They are making him train his H1B replacement.

To make beer cans!
What? Wait... Oh, OK. Never mind.
Then we know we are finished.
Code that was embedded in a cute kitten video is crawling through Facebook collecting all kinds of data on you. (Am I starting to sound paranoid?)
When you finish building the house, advertisements and porn suddenly start displaying all over the walls, ceilings, etc. Yep. Malware in the email.
I thought the 'Peeple' website for rating individuals was a really bad idea. After reading this I can actually see some utility in it.
