redpoint -- How many minutes of talk time on that $10 phone? I went in to T-Mobile to put some minutes on my Nokia candy-bar (it's got a color screen!) and they would only sell me unlimited minutes that expire at 30 days. I wanted (and used to be able to purchase) 30 minutes that never expire.

Soon you will be able to add some new items to your list. When Trezor (an hardware wallet) ships, secure online payment will become possible. And maybe roll back the regressive mayhem that Al Gore unleashed on [the] original Internet.

Also Qualcom is shipping a new chip that enables D2D mesh networking over LTE. So things like Firechat will work with more than just the person standing next to you. Like—500 meters.
