1. Capless fuel filler, no more gas caps
Ford has finally come up with an idea all vehicles should have: a capless fuel filler that works like a receptacle for the gas pump nozzle. Make all car manufacturers put these on their 2010 cars. No more unscrewing the fuel filler cap, just plug it in and pump.

(okay, this would be kinda cool, but utterly pointless, in addition it would require modifying gas nozzles, likely in such a way that it would make it difficult or impossible to fill the tanks of nonupgraded cars, so, logic fail.)

2. Toggling elevator floor buttons
We need an "undo" on elevator buttons. A simple toggle switch would do the trick, oh miracle-working politician. Make it so.

(toggle, no, not in design, but in function, one press designates a floor, another undesignates a floor, this is listed because of those idiots who hold the door open button and press every single floor...)
 

3. Cozy Suite airplane seats
Even you can’t fix the airlines, but at least order them all to install some Cozy Suite seats, giving economy-class passengers privacy and comfort that’s a tiny bit like First.

(the links obviously dont work, this is talking about a model of airline seat that was proposed by delta, which looks and would be more comfortable and private. how ever forcing the airliners to pay for them would only make tickets for coach as expensive as first class, or be the straw to break the camels back in makeing them start charging passangers by the pound, theirs...)
 

4. Solar panel roof on every car
Millions of cars are sitting in sunny parking lots all over America. If they all had solar panels (like the upcoming Priuses), and then the country will be our solar collector. They can use that juice to power their air conditioners, and if there’s any power left over, maybe the rest could be fed into the residential power grid.

(seems like a good idea, but the substances that go into makeing solar panels are not only expensive, but are limited in quantity (ie a nonrenuable resource, more so even then oil believe it or not) so untill they find a renewable way of makeing effective solar cells, this idea i classify as undereducated..)

5. Auto online backup
We’ve been remiss, not backing up everything as we should, but even a third-rate miracle worker could require all operating systems to be regularly backed up online. Forget Apple’s “Time Machine.” We want federally mandated backup!

(and you really want the federal government backing up your illegally downloaded videos, music, and porn? as well as any other information going on that youd rather keep private? granted they do this anyway, but it illiminates any legal argument you have for expectation of privacy on the internet and your personal computer, yet another step back to 1984)
 

6. Online copy of all magazines online for subscribers
Magazines are dead, and you should make it official, Mr. President. Just sign a presidential decree that all their content must be online exactly as it is in their paper magazines — available to subscribers only, of course

(okay, this one makes sense, ill leave it alone)

7. RF remote controls
Infrared (IR) remote controls seemed OK a few decades ago, but proclaim them illegal, oh holy one. Demand that all use RF (radio frequency) from now on, and spare us the heartache of the remote not working unless it’s pointed directly at the TV.

(i have no special beef with this, how ever ther are only limited numbers of radio frequencies available...every now and then its happened where somebody brings home a new RF wireless telephone and starts picking up their neighbors calls, the same principle aplies here.)
 

8. Unlimited broadband
Sure, they say it’s “unlimited broadband” (well, they’ve shied away from that lately), but get that big bad government jumping all over those service providers, making them actually provide unlimited broadband so we can watch our Apple TVs and Hulu in peace.

(in otherwords, no data caps, and yes, they do have data caps, including comcast, Grin, they just werent telling anyone this fact except on the corprate level, now its official, starting in october, i need to read more up on it to see if its retroactive, you are capped at 250 gigs dled a month....and you can hit that with just regular browsing without the added use of bit torrent)
 

9. No air conditioning unless it's solar
If you just declare that nobody will stay frosty on a scorching day unless they’re using solar powered air conditioning, we’d see the fastest uptake of solar energy in the world. Hit people where they hurt, Barack, and make them sweat if they don’t comply

(heating is air conditioning too, and you kinda need that most when you have a blizzard comeing through and no sun at all, epic logic failure)

10. Easy-open biodegradable packaging
Smack down the cruel packaging industry, which creates bulletproof packaging that’s impossible to open unless you’re using a razor-sharp jackhammer. In fact, half the packaging fobbed off on consumers is unnecessary and even dangerous, so make them stop!

(duely noted and agreed.)
 

11. Commercial-free movie theaters
We pay $10 for a ticket and they still bombard us with 27 minutes of commercials (we timed it). And yes, movie trailers count as commercials. If it’s OK to search anyone without cause and torture those who won’t talk, surely it would be simple to make this illegal.

(i disagree, the adds really arent that bad, and more then once ive gone to see a movie where the most enjoyable part was the previews, dont force your personal tastes down others throats, if you dont want to see the trailers, then dont arive early, stfu)
 

12. Cell phone jammers in movie theaters
While we’re talking movie theaters… no cell phone service, no annoying rings, no way. Jam those signals in every theater in the U.S. of A.

(heres one of those places where the author obviously is an idiot, doctors need their cellphones in case of emergency, parrents who leave their children with a babysitter for one fucking night of alone time need a phone incase their spawn has an alergic or athsma attack and the moron they left it with cant find the medicine, stfu its only a nusence if its some black guy in the third row who refuses to miss five minutes of his movie to talk to his boo, loudly, on his cellphone, and when that happens, you bitch at the manager for a free movie ticket *shrug*)
 

13. “I’m OK, you’re OK” airport security
There must be some way to put together a database that pre-screens frequent fliers. This phony circus that is supposed to be airport security is a joke. Oh yes, there's a database, but that’s called the “No-Fly List.” We need a leader to expedite that Registered Traveler system that’s in the works to let you breeze through security, nationwide.

(i just want airport security done away with, they dont prevent terrorist attacks, they just make you hate what should be a wonderful experiance (flying is awesome, that is all))

14. WiMax at 1 gigabit/sec for connectivity everywhere
Solve that monopoly problem where weasel companies such as Comcast and Time Warner gouge customers with no recourse. Let us wirelessly jack into the net anywhere, anytime, and make sure there’s competing providers to keep them honest.

(and whos going to pay for this? not the rich people, not the poor people, same as everything else, its the middle class slaves)

15. TiVo-like pause/rewind on every car radio
OK, we do listen to NPR, but sometimes miss what they’re saying because, uh, we were busy driving. Put transport controls on every radio, giving it TiVo-like freedom to pause, rewind and fast-forward radio shows.

(would be nice, but the writer forgets, recording radio, at all, is illegal)

16. Real-time traffic on every GPS
Could the interconnectivity of the Dash Express GPS unit become standard on every GPS unit? They could all talk with each other and the net, reporting traffic tie-ups to each other and making life grand.

(i dont see to much harm with this one other then teh fact that these people like to charge for anything that they can get away with, jjust like cell companies)

17. Outlaw DRM
It might take a miracle to figure out how to be sure artists get paid for their work, but make the record companies and movie studios stop suing their customers.

(death to drm!)

18. No more passwords
Passwords aren’t working, and even if they were, we’re getting sick of remembering dozens of strings of alphanumeric characters and PINs. Can’t somebody figure out how to use fingerprints, eye scans or voice recognition to securely prove identity?

(hmm, seems good to me)
 

19. Wi-Fi and video in every plane seat
The Republican Party promised a chicken in every pot back in 1928, but now it’s the 21st century, so Barack, you need to promise Wi-Fi and video in every airplane seat.

(expensive, but nifty)
 

20. One-button hotel check-in
Order all hotels to install technology so those clerks don't have to do 139 button presses (we counted) just to give us a lousy room key. How hard can that be, oh anointed one?

(do you really have to have worked in the service industry to understand why one touch automation is a bad thing? hello? if they can make it that easy to check in a guest, they would just replace the clerks with an electronic keosk, maybe have an attendant, whom would be paid at barely minimum wage, if that.)

that is all for now
