Jon's computer has a remote. I'm not sure if it shuts the computer down completely or if it's just for watching movies on it.

No but I bet Jon does Grin he's not answering my texts right now though so I could ask but he probably won't answer. I can ask later when I call him.

My old quad desktop had a remote, but I never used it.

So, what kind of computer everyone have? List the model, or specs. Laptops are very expensive compared to desktop. A $1000 laptop, you can get a way more powerful desktop for same price.

automatic lint cleaner in the dryer

you might think it is no big deal and manual cleaning is fine, but few realize cleaning it 2-3 times in the first 20 mins can cut the drying time down to half depending on what's being dried.
it is just like a vacuum with a full bag which greatly reduces the suction.  when the lint screen is full the hot air circulation in your dryer is cut way, way down and this greatly extends the drying time.
my automatic cleaner would clean constantly through the cycle and greatly reduce the time and the amount of power the dryer uses.


i also thought of a washer/dryer too.
it is a front loading washer that is also the dryer. so never again do you have to run and put the clothes in the dryer. since the dryer would be the standard forced hot air, there would be no problems with water leakage shorting out as it ages. i'm very surprized this hasn't been done already.

personally I don't like big laptops, but if you want performance these 16 inch are the bomb. Fast cpu, blue ray player 1080p. if you have a xbox 360 you can stream videos, photos, and music from your computer to your xbox360 on your HDTV.

That's right., Windows 7 is coming out next month. If you order a computer now, you'll be able to order a upgrade windows 7 cd for free. Vista is not that great. When I had vista on my computer I had over 70 processes running. I am now using windows 7 beta and only have around 40 processes.

my mom used to date this guy who invented a cell phone that never needs charging. He somehow had these big ugly yellow battery packs taped to his phone. This was back in 1998. I think he had like 2 batteries attached where when you use it it charges.


Would be cool if someone could invent a toilet where poo water doesn't splash up on your butt when you poo. Don't you hate that? You poo and then water splash up onto your bottom. Yuck, disgusting.

hey yck if you invent something, maybe we can buy it. I read few days ago some Indians invented a solar panel with hair. Cost around $22 to build.

What do you do for a job?
