Keyboard Button
They need to run with a transparent keyboard (adjustable transparency with a wheel button) that sends keypresses through when it is being pressed (with said wheel button). Click on text field etc. and keyboard inhabits full screen of tablet at say 75% or a transparency based on display image intensity (e.g. if the keyboard is created with white icons, then it is less transparent with a light display image in the background). You can scroll the wheel button to adjust right away or even turn it off immediately if you don't need to type, and then depress this same wheel button as you type onscreen to have the keystrokes register as opposed to other touchscreen gestures.
Uh-Oh
Between the cloning and now THIS, I think we're completely flocked!

Encryption
The bytes of data comprising the porn form a massive one time pad which can be used to encrypt massive amounts of communication in conjunction with a duplicate of the data in other locations. It is unbreakable. Duplicates sit in Yemen, Syria, Toronto and Lahore.

Data Integrity
You are ignoring the fact that colors may have faded over time and therefore the integrity of each and every bit, except for the zero bits, is in question.
Cease + Desist
In '97 I was sent a cease and desist from Sun for using the suffix "sunsite" in a community domain name.
I find a sick satisfaction that I personally outlived the corporate entity that threatened to destroy me.
What was really funny is that the contact was made via snail mail :)
Rapid Prototyping?
Perhaps a robotic weapon of mass destruction is not really what we would want to be the subject of rapid prototyping.
Control IPs
I wouldn't hardcode a control IP, I would scrape a craig's list post to obtain rotating control IPs.
Vocal Levels
The difference in levels on the two speakers are too wide; I can't even listen to this comfortably. The Ozzy has to speak up and match his voice with MJ's vibrant vocals.

Strategic Options
Yeah, their strategy worked through bad times like totally losing OS market share despite OS2 and the good times like when they virtually allied with Nazi Germany ...

Custom Web Sites! Yeah
Focus people, focus! You were the only registrar and companies with more focus like godaddy waltzed in a screwed you.
Domains are a commodity, focus on commoditized domain and hosting services ... like godaddy. Oh yeah, and hot babes washing windows -- also a commodity.

All We Needed Was Venture Mark-up
That mark-up rocked, was text-based, and completely professional. And I'm talking the old GEM version, not the rebloated Corel incarnation.
You shouldn't be using linux...
...if you need a password strength indicator.

C'mon no Sony TALKman?
That one could kill iPhone just because we have all been subconsciously waiting for it since cell phones jumped out of cars.
Also, why haven't they ever released a KITT car PC module that does everything including blow s41t up? Oh yeah, and insert 'your name' instead of 'Michael'
Bravo
I can't believe Web20rhea and variants are still available.

Subtle Invasion
The wiki example is an interesting 'invasion' of that Web property, in that it highlights the superiority of the Google search results in finding relevant information quickly, primarily due to format of abstracts and key word weighting, over the native Wiki search.
Try "oil supply world war II" and note how much easier it is to find an article relevant to the subject via Google.
On a side note: why doesn't a search for string 'wikipedia.com' invoke this 'teleportation' feature?

Patents and Sons
They need patent reform in the US and a more intelligent vetting body that only awards true innovation.
Abraham did have two sons, but one moved out before the patent was filed.

Talking '83 Dude
In 1983 there were no extant "fundamental elements" such as "being able to see exactly what your text will look like until you print it out", especially with daisywheel printers.

Let's all drink to a guy that figured out they should put the screen on the top of the lid, not squeezed in next to the hinge (see photo)

No, really...that story shows all the signs of a God Complex and the initial signs of a Machiavellian bent.
