Umair Haque's advice is golden: Take one of the big ideals (democracy, peace, transparency, equality, and so on) and apply it to an ailing industry that is in need of transformation or at least some serious disruption: health care, finance, news, energy, government - you name it. Combine that with the principles of the Twitter economy - transparency, instantification, collaboration, and free sharing - and you have a winner.

If you think your Wi-Fi isn't fast enough for you, you are not alone. Recently line of top companies like Dell, Intel, LG, Microsoft, NEC, Nokia, Panasonic, Samsung, have organized the Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) Alliance, 'to establish a unified specification for 60GHz wireless technologies'. WiGig will allow to communicate without wires at gig speeds within a typical room.
Since 60Ghz is the same base as for mobile WiMAX (802.16е), I believe very soon we wil use HD-heavy streams everywhere from a room up to cities due to 4G, and I do can wait for my 4G netbook for aggressive SEO mobility.
