X-No-Archive: Yes

Here are mine:

1. voice recognition
2. face recognition

These two might be useful for security - but I'd rather have a
fingerprint detector on the keyboards - standard. Integrated with
keychain. Our current password system needs to be replaced by
something better, and this could be a first step.

3. talking computer
4. thin screens
5. flexible screens

Why?

6. (much) longer battery life
7. (much) more hard drive capacity
8. shock-proof
9. nintendo wii-remote
10. ubiquitous wireless access

These are for portable computers - and I don't have a portable
computer. Without having such experience, I would like to see
easier integration to allow a portable computer to synchronize with
the desktop.

My other features I'd like to see are:
1. A better Mighty Mouse.
2. A keyboard that works better for long-time touch typers such as
myself. With feel. Part of my problem here is that I need to put
on my reading glasses to read the function keys on my aluminum
keyboard (Count out to F6), but I just make too many mistakes on it
that I don't on old-fashioned keyboards.
3. The option to use display fonts (Windows style), instead of print
fonts on the display. My fogey eyes get more tired on my Mac.
4. The ability to resize Remote Desktop.
5. Various software that I wish for (not really Apple's job, but
they can make porting easier).
6. Make it easier to pick a remote camera instead of the built in
iSight camera for all applications.
7. Make user friendly software to tell people what safety features
or convenience features they need in setting up router settings and
wireless settings for appropriate security everywhere but easy
connecting away from home.
