Why not use OneNote with either a local folder, a personal server or even a cloud-based Skydrive? It will gobble up everything you have and allow you to search, organize, etc.
In your warehoue/inspection team example, if it isn't obvious to people inside the company, how are we, who don't even know the industry, number of employees, or services provided going to have any meaningful, non-generic examples.
In your warehouse example, all that would have been needed would be for someone to ask the very simple, completely non-technical, question "How can I cut the time it takes to do equipment inspections?" That would have lead to a review of the process involved (inspect, take notes, enter notes back at desk). When the conversation turns to "Could they enter their notes while at the machine?" after discounting giving the inspectors iPads, your final toughbook-based solution would likely have been arrived at.
The solutions that matter to the business will be based in the business of the company. Look around, see what people are doing, see what external services users use and see if you can bring them in-house. When I worked at a major oil company, we had semi-annual meeting between each business unit ant IT - they told us how they were using technology, what their issues were - we told them the services we offered, provided info on emerging technologies, and then we had a brainstorming session where we (IT) tried to propose solutions/advice to actual business problems and their "wouldn't it be nice if we could..." ideas. There's no reason that wouldn't work on a much smaller, more informal scale, I.e., have lunch with department heads, principals in the organization...
In NJ, where Ilive, we spend on average $13K/student. The superintendent was talking about student aid from the state, not the total cost per student, on average.
My district gets $800K in state aid for 4,000 students - $200/student, we spend almost $14K/student for their education. Other districts in the state (Abbott districts) spend almost twice as much per child, and getas much as 90% of their funding from state & federal sources.
Guess which districts are considered underprivlidged?
Guess which districtsare actually educating their students?
Guess which districts advocates argue need more money?
Guess which districts will lose funding to increase funding for the other districts...
"The point that AC was trying to make was that part of why we're only collecting $2.5T is that we hand out over-sized tax cuts to rich individuals (tax cuts that weren't necessary to drive the dot-com boom) as well as to many business not in need of such support or incentives (such as Big Oil)."
If the government collected TWICE the tax revenues from EVERY taxpayer, we'd ALMOST collect enough revenue to fund our current spending levels. Almost.
The top 1% pay 38% of income taxes, yet they collect a very small part of the benefits of the government (that 38% of taxes they pay is AFTER all the things you complain about are deducted, that is the actual share of the total income tax revenue collected each year SOURCE)
How much medicare does the top 1% of taxpayers recieve? Social Security? What percentage of the national roadways does the top 1% use?
The so-called "subsidies for Big Oil" are peanuts compared to other industries, and are common to all manufacturing industries - how many of those self-same subsidies does GM, Google, and Apple take advantage of? How about the movie industry? The perception is that these "subsidies" are specially created exclusively for "Big Oil" - they are not. There are many more profitable industries than "Big Oil", and somehow, removing these tax breaks shared with other industries will only serve to make oil MORE expensive, not less...
When has an increase in Tax RATES reulted in an increase in tax REVENUES? Once people figure out how to game the system, tax revenues drop to previous levels.
When confronted with the inescapableproof that tax revenues increase when rates are cut, then-Candidate Barak Obama said he supports increasing tax rates for the PURPOSE of FAIRNESS.
"Besides, the country isn't broke, just horrible at distributing wealth."
Our country takes in $2.5T in revenues each year, spends about $4.3T, and has so far racked-up just over $14.3T in debt.
If we scale those numbers down to the personal level (slide the decimal point a few places to the left), that would be like a person that earns $25K/yr spending $43K/yr, and is carrying $143K in unsecured debt.
I'd call that person broke, why is it different when a country is in the same straits?
He holds up as examples the BBC and PBS - they just seem "fair and impartial" to him (and millions of other, left-leaning folks).

I think this design is awesome, but I can't imagine living in a space so small I had no real estate to spread out a project to work on.
I agree - I think there is an inverse relationship between the need for tidy-ness and square footage - the smaller the space, the greater your need to be tidy, larger spaces can accomodate a less tidy person/family.
My current living space is very large, we could get by with less I'm sure, but we've stuffed it with "treasures" we can't seem to part with. I am as guilty as anyone of holding on to things too long (I still have Win95 & WinNT books for some reason, maybe because I remember what I paid for themsome 15 years ago), but I could never be like this if I lived in a smaller space.
Heck, when this fellow (in the HK apartment) upgrades his iPod he has a strong incentive to get rid of the old one, so it won't clutter-up his apartment!
How would making suburban homes more expensive help the housing market? If you imagine families leaving the suburbs for the mass-transit nirvana of urban living (because it's cheaper), who is going to buy their.25 acre of grass and 5 mile drive to the store house?
Don't confuse the spot market price of one particular form of crude oil for the price most refineries pay for oil - the spot market is where people without options buy oil to feed their refineries.

Notice how "life of car" is not defined, nor is the cost of the fuel saved over the life of the car. At todays oil prices $4/gal) and with an average car life of 10 years, that's 75 gallons less a year. If we project oil will cost $6/gal in 2020, that makes the savings about 50 gallons per car per year
I wonder what gas prices will be in 2020? The white house must have numbers they used for this info graphic, right?
"(Allison Transmission) It’s a business that is creating jobs making transmissions for hybrid vehicles after a boost from a matching grant out of the President’s clean energy investments."
So the President is trumpeting the creation of jobs through the use of Gov't grants? The matching grants make the transmissions Allison makes cost significantly less, because the taxpayer is GIVING Allison free money to make them cheaper - what happens when we stop giving Allison free money? Will their transmissions be competitive then?
Giving companies free money subverts the market, causes companies to do things that otherwise wouldn't make economic sense, and the companies will stop the activity once the subsidies end and they must bear the full cost.
Take a look at all the subsidies the Gov't is heaping on buyers of hybrids, and now add to that the subsidies the hybrid manufacturers are getting and you see quickly that they make no economic sense - if they did, the subsidies wouldn't be needed.
"Another facet of Steve Wozniak’s life that has not been mentioned is his love for education, his philanthropy, and the connection of both in his life. Wozniak states that he does continue to have a role in Apple. He says: “I have never left the company. I keep a tiny residual salary to this day because that's where my loyalty should be forever. I want to be an "employee" on the company database. I won't engineer, I'd rather be basically retired, due to my family.”(Wozniak in People, 2) It is his family though that brings out his love for education. It was the inspiration of his son Jesse and his passion for computers that developed when he was in fourth grade that made Wozniak become a philanthropist for computer education."
And he's pledged to give away most of his money before/when he passes - that he creates jobs, has a nice ship and has and will give away BILLIONS is a problem for you, smitty97?
