Cleaner and cheaper power source. Moped cars (which I assume you meant) are quite popular in Europe for rural 16-18 old kids, as they can't drive regular cars yet: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/20451602

Ah, cool. I'm already using Digital Ocean for hosting the development Linux box that I access from my "Android workstation": http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/working-on-android/ Their service has been working without any hassles until now, and s

Yep. One such issue to solve would be "ownership" of digital assets. I don't really have anything that important on Google, but I'd like to have for example my code on GitHub and my photos on Flickr to live on after I kick the bucket.

Kind of makes sense, given that Apps accounts are usually business, not personal. In which case the companies probably already have a policy on what to do with the accounts when a person leaves. And they have admins that can manage the acco

That is sort of what Google's Niantic Labs is doing with Field Trip, though with more a discovering cool places angle than finding local businesses : http://www.fieldtripper.com/ Field Trip uses data from bunch of different sources, bu

This sort of status board would actually fit Android's Daydream concept quite well. Daydreams are sort of screensaver-ish system that apps can use to draw stuff on the screen whenever a device is docked or charging. Here are some existing e

Yep. This means you probably can't get Facebook-level users into your service. But the old group of readers is still out there, looking for a good product. And if it was big enough audience to launch products in 2006, why wouldn't it be now

The issue with an OLPC is that the keyboard is terrible. And battery life at least didn't use to be much better than with netbooks.

This is taking concepts like my current 'Android workstation' to the extreme: http://bergie.iki.fi/blog/working-on-android/ That said, I can certainly see the appeal of a device with a week-long battery life and a sunlight-readable screen

Again, building software takes time and money. Much of open source has been "subsidized" by people either working on getting a degree, or by their employer when they build and release something that solves a problem for the company. Kicksta

Unifying the various communication channels would be a good thing, and very much in line with how Google has centralized identity and notifications behind G+. However, this part didn't sound so promising: Google’s recent decision to block
