I would like to see the rise of the home server. Cloud services have latency and privacy issues. Imagine a small, powerful and energy efficient server that you could tuck away in a closet and connect to your gigabit or faster network. This server would provide all the horsepower, centralized storage, and session management (think IRC chat etc) that you need -- and you can access it on any device in your house. Imagine a keyboard running a tiny OS that could detect the nearest registered display. You could write code on the TV for a few hours, walk over to a desk and pick up where you left off. That's what I would eventually like to turn my home into (by setting up a Plan 9 network and writing terminal clients for android set-top boxes), but it's hard to find the perfect home server.
