Getting IPv6 and multicasting work would massively stimulate the creation of new tech/apps, but I assume these two are not considered 'technical innovations' anymore because most of us already know, for at least 10 years, this needs to happen
Lots depend on what you want to do with your data of course and relational databases will always have their place but two technologies which spring to mind are:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadoophttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MapReduce
Also the fact that it is hard to merge the relational database world with the object oriented world will (imho) be tackled at some point. In a lot of project I've been working on a considerable amount of development/sys admin time is spent on 'storing and retrieving data'. It seems only logical to me that people will look for or develop cheaper and easier to implement and maintain alternatives so they can concentrate on more exciting problems
IMHO the EU has a fairly limited view on data storage, the biggest challenge Oracle will face in the next 10 years is answering the question: why do we need a relational database to store our data? I find developing with Java / Hibernate against a relational database very time consuming and was it not that I invested so much time and effort in learning these technologies I would drop them straight away and explore alternatives. The fact that Oracle will add another SQL database to their product range doesn't change this fact that much at all. What I'm trying to say here is that the European Commission doesn't seem to understand that the competition will come from a completely different direction. And keeping the different database brands separate doesn't matter that much.
What is intersting is that the Kreatel box is running the Mozilla browser as a front end.
This means you can develop AJAX applications on the box although only XMLHttpRequest() is activated and not the XSLTProcessor() (something as google maps is not possible), probably will not happen because it's to processor intensive.
Mozilla as a frontend will certainly 'blur' the borders between traditional internet applications and iptv development because the same technologies are being used. This also means (I hope) IPTV gets more what I would call 'w3c standerized' which is imho a good thing for backend development since more clients (like mobiles, browsers, stb's) are using the same range of technologies.
As some people would argue this is an important steps towards web 2.0

Imagine that all these morrons will have linux desktops...Support, just go there once, install sshd and for the rest remotely login and fix it. They do anything stupid? Look in the log files...and charge them double because you can actual proof they did it themselves. Upgrade programs against vulnarablities?, just do a crontab upgrade whatever (emerge world will do). If it brakes? Rewrite the log files, blame them, charge them....from behind your own desk. Live will be great!!! Linux will help the masses (and me)

Mission to mars would be a good option to throw money to scientists
Because it's just as ridiculous as you having to pay royalties for a clothing design every day you go to work smartly dressed
Alternative: http://www.diigo.com/ you can import your delicious bookmarks, iphone/android apps etc
Since the iPad is also marketed as a gaming device I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first step towards releasing games on the ipad.

Everyone calm down! Changes are Java 6 will be released in a couple of weeks time, since Apple always does a major Java update after a OS release, read this blog: http://stuffthathappens.com/blog/2007/10/28/os-x-java-definitive-timeline/

Could someone host his p2p lecture as worldwide video conferencing thing? I quite interested in what it all was about

MS would never do that, it would only help the switch to Linux of a complete continent
