I don't get it

Why can't road signs, building signs, be consistent and be correct? Constitant placement, icons, language, sizing...

Why don't I have a credit card that sends an email to me so I can slot every expense into a category... for my expense report, for my personal taxes, for my budget...

Is it me, or an I just the freak that buys the same stuff, goes the same places, and calls the same people over and over? I want an online grocery that has the stuff I buy on my shopping list. OJ, Milk, Bagels, Beer, there must be 25 things that make up 80% of what I buy.. is this so simply stupid.

Why don't conference bridges call out to get eveyone onto the bridge that has not dialed in?

Why don't browsers have some basic cookies available to any web site such as time zone and zip code?

Why doesn't Google provide a contact vcf to be dragged onto my contacts, or provide a click to call via my choice... based on mypreference, my cell for example?

Why don't conference call systems send SMSs that ask if you want to add a Con Call on your Ourlook calendar?

How about a credit card the fixes the credit card fraud problem by making me approve all puchases.. send my a SMS and I will say ok, before the approval system is allowed to approve the transaction... if over an amount, or out of an area, or if for certain kinds of retail genre?

Why don't web radio, Google news, Yahoo, etc. track surfing and interests to coorelate interests... if someone is looking at the stuff I am, maybe I would be interested in the same things?

Why doesn't my bank send emails if I haven't paid a bill I regularly pay each month?

Why when I look at a mapquest map or a Yahoo map doesn't it end up as a location on my nav screen on my Nav system in my car? How else would I get there?

Is there a way to broadcast music over my homenetwork so all my devices have the same thing?

Is there a random montage of pictures and videos for my plasma screen to display stuff randomly?

If call logs show up on my computer, in Vonage, or from my mobile phone, why can't I get it to show a vcf to add to my addy book?? I mean, how often do I have to look up the same freakin pizza ship?

If browsers can have autocomplete, why can'f phone complete phone numbers?
