What it really should have is a great big Twitter bird with a muck-spreader attachment below responding to the frequency of tweets, so the garden really is fertilized by Twitter.
As a bonus, I'm sure they'd also be in the running for the Biggest Marrow competition after a couple of days.
I think we need a Godwin's Law for BitCoin

Google+ Photos used to be Picasa
I use the Picasa desktop app as a backup tool for my photos - anything less than about 1600 x 1200 gets stored for "free". My backups are now privately accessible through my G+ account.
What I really want it to do...
Do an OCR of a magazine listing, compile it up, then do the tape emulator bit.
Imagine the resale value of verified names!
Given the US's privacy laws, linking Facebook profiles to real-life people will be marketing gold for Air BnB to sell on! Or even better, the tax-man can tie the rentals to a real-life person to make sure they are paying taxes, or Air BnB can sell landlords a check to make sure their tenants aren't sub-letting through Air BnB.
I see, that seems useful!
I have a chart posted on my wall, but I still have to look at a calendar to cross-check if this is the second or fourth Friday of the month.
Hmm, might indeed be a useful web service for someone to hack together...
The council text you when they come to empty your bins?
My little brain cannot cope with that concept. I'm genuinely curious why you find that valid, which implies useful.

Err, isn't that the very definition of a fork?

I read 13.04's codename as...

Mine's the one with the haemorrhoid cream in the pocket.
This is just the sort of thing Hitler would do!

The internet fork...
Just yesterday I saw on the telly that at CES there is a diet fork that vibrates if you eat too fast, and it of course comes with the obligatory iPhone app to upload your eating habits to the cloud.
I just created this account to say this...
Android is in the smartphone, not in the rice cooker, and the only communication the cooker has with the outside world is through an NFC chip that pairs with your smartphone to download cooking program settings and upload usage information.
As for a rice cooker being simple, there's differences for white rice or brown, keeping it warm all evening, designer burnt bits, adding veggies to the pot, adding shop-bought rice-mix flavours (frozen and vacuum-sealed), etc, etc.
Indeed, one of the use cases is buying food with a QR code on the box, popping onto the scanned website to get the ideal recipie, then bonk-to-scoff.
(And yes, I do work there...)
