Haven't the telco's put enough in their pockets from all those years of raising fees for this "information superhighway". The moment telco's raise prices for companies like Google is the moment that I expect 100Mb/s broadband to my curb. Either that or I want to be reimbursed for all those years of them conning me.
Men have a higher tendency to be at either extremes: extremely intelligent or extremely stupid. Women tend to be closer to average. The reason? Women have two X chromosomes that average each other out. So if she has a genius X chromosome and an average X chromosome then she'll be somewhere between those two. However, men have a single X chromosome that cannot be dragged down or carried up by another X.
People like to watch the latest movies from the comfort of their homes. What about doing like iTunes and offer them an internet showing of the movie for let's say 5 bucks a movie? You get better quality than torrents, faster downloads, no people getting up in front of the camera all the time all from the comfort of your home. The movie studio saves on distribution costs and get extra income from the geek crowd who would never dare be seen in the bright daylight but prefer to bask in the warming glow of a computer monitor. Everyone wins.
Who seriously wants a phone system that can crash? Damn, I'm trying to call 911 for that heart attack but my phone does not work. I'd wait before joining VOIP service.

So does that mean AOL will start sending me a 10$ cheque with every CD they send me?
Why isn't slashdot migrating to XML coupled with XSL? It's the future afterall!
My defense is that my computer was infected by a trojan horse for many months without my knowledge :P
Actually, your niece has a good point since people who are "beautiful" are usually perceived as being more intelligent and are more likely to succeed.
