The horoscope reading and personalised scent thing sounds a bit bogus (i.e. dumb) to me, but I can see the potential if software makes could use a standardised set of "scents" which they mix to simulate smells in an environment.
For example... if you had a VR program which showed a park scene, then you'd emit fresh nature smells. Driving gamers could get to smell the leather seats and burning rubber. Hardcore gamers might well smell blood, sweat and some other undescribables and they chase people around with their BFGs...
1. Build a time machine
2. Travel back to the 90's
3. Create a startup and pull in suckers -eerr- investors with nothing more than hype
4. Make a gazillion dollars!
Australian broadband used to be monopolised by one major telco who owned all the infrastructure, before the ACCC (regulatory body) stepped in.
They still own most of the infrastructure, but are forced to resell to other providers at almost unprofitable wholesale prices. But as a result, almost all the "new" providers sell the same plans - same price, same downloads... what's the point in that? I'd rather go for the big Telco as they're more likely to provide better service and be around in a year's time...
I've been in that situation before, and would definitely recommend sticking with a notebook. Upgrade if you need the extra grunt, but I find using a notebook with a cable splitter to connect a wired keyboard and mouse is the best solution.
When I'm done working, I just pack up my stuff and lock it away in a cupboard. No mess, no fuss, no space taken up by a tower/monitor etc.
Unfortunately, the people living in countries most in need of the vaccine (e.g. Africa) are probably too impoverished to afford the vaccine without some sort of financial aid program or the backing of worldwide health organisations.
The functions you are asking for are very specific, and it depends on whether you can compromise - i.e. if the client only accepts word documents and visio diagrams, then you're pretty much stuck using those applications.

Perhaps they could incorporate it somehow (don't look at meef, I'm no techie) into slashdot posts -- slashdot certainly has a huge readership, and as soon as an article links to a site, it usually goes belly up.
Perhaps this could help alleviate the slashdot effect?
I couldn't help notice how awesome the reading software was! Looks just like a print magazine, complete with page turn effects! And some of the graphics is animated too! Ah, print is dead, my friend...
She appears to be doing better now. But soon, she'll be trying to suck your brains from out of your still screaming body. Either that, or a monstrosity will burst out from her ribcage and start stalking the medical staff...

Talk about old news... pocket pcs have had flash players for years -- lots of flash based games and apps already out there...
For example... if you had a VR program which showed a park scene, then you'd emit fresh nature smells. Driving gamers could get to smell the leather seats and burning rubber. Hardcore gamers might well smell blood, sweat and some other undescribables and they chase people around with their BFGs...
1. File -> Print
2. Take printout from printer
3. Hand print out to recipient
*sigh* Techno-geeks these days... :D

No, this is the blue one which is the antidote to the green zombie creating one. Or is it the other way around? Dang, back to the lab!! :D

Isn't this the philosophy behind gmail and wallop? The exclusivity makes people want to be in it -- even just for the sake of it.

Ships within australia only, but I'm sure you can find it somewhere else.

HTH
Awesome! Is there one for php/mysql too? I think that's more popular these days...
I bags the gold plated Mortal Kombat arcade machine, and the limited edition crystal Double Dragon bracelet!

And not only that, you can actually write and compile them on just about any machine too! I had some fun with my Psion Revo a while back...
... we've just found scientific proof that stress will kill you faster! That's it, I'm off to the Bahamas.
Extreme cynicism....
Perhaps they could use the same strategies and techniques mentioned here
The Southwest Florida International Airport in Fort Myers has trained a 2-year-old border collie to chase birds away from the airport
Broadcasting bird distress calls to see if they can convince the birds to go elsewhere.
Bringing in trained hawks to intimidate smaller birds.
Stopping lawn mowing. If the grass around the airport is 7 to 14 inches high, it makes it harder for birds to peck for food
Set out a little bird food with purgatives to make the birds sick enough to move on to a better food supply

I propose the one finger victory salute on the splashscreen. How can one go wrong with that? :D
