Wouldn't it be neat if:

*You could publish your Google IG for others to use as a template.
*Google Toolbar OE (M$ style "Offline Edition") You can use within office etc. I would definately use the Highlight feature to find a certain part-I use this a lot on the web.
*You could have a local Gmail address. Google own local gmail domains like gmail.ie, wouldn't it be cool if you could use your account (username[put at-character here]gmail.com) to access mail sent to (username[put at-character here]gmail.ie)

Any other suggestions below(and enough of the GDrive, we all know that everyone wants it!)

Google doesn't own all relevant country domains. Example: Gmail.de is not owned by Google (this guy is even battling Google over the G-Mail trademark, so German users will get @googlemail.com instead of @gmail.com).

Not keen on that idea – it loses the idea of "personal"; and not forgetting privacy.

I deffinatly want to patent this idea or something but here goes:

You know those really thin screens companies like Sony (I think) are making? Like.. the bendable plastic monitors that use electrons to position ink. They are meant to be used as digital newspapers. Anyways.

That would be neat if textbooks had one in the back instead of an index. You could use a small touchscreen to input search queries in regards to the book. It would then show you a list of pages that the keyword is on and a small screenshot. Awesome!

That is so useful. Google books. Books with a searchbox. You shouldn't have said that. Patent. Go to google, lycos or whatever. Get them on board.
Make money.
