Make a frogger game  
Written by Eldmannen the 9 Apr 08 at 19:19. Global category: Gaming. Not an idea
I remember 15 years ago, I used to play "Revenge of the Frogger" on my i386 at 16 MHz.

It was a great game. You are froggy, a a frog who has to pass the dangerous road with big motor vehicles such as cars, trucks, buses, etc.
When you passed the road, you must pass the river, by jumping on tree logs or alligators or turtles, and if you get the butterfly, you get bonus points.

Me and my sister loved playing it. It's a real arcade classic that never gets old.

Hire thousand of Chinese programmers  
Written by Eldmannen the 7 May 08 at 14:02. Global category: Others. Won't implement
Canonical should hire a legion of tens of thousands of Chinese programmers.
It will be very cheap, and Chinese people are very intelligent and hard workers. Always top A grade students, perfect score on all tests.

In China people work 20 hours a day for only like $2 dollar a day.
We can employ them for only 6-9 hours a day with a great salary of $5-10 dollar per day.

It will be a great deal for them, because they can work less and earn more.

It will be great for us, because we can hire tens of thousand Chinese programmers, a whole legion of them and increase the development rate by a factor of a thousand.

Get Apple make an iTunes port.  
Written by arielcima the 12 Mar 08 at 02:57. Global category: Multimedia. New
Yes, i know about songbird, i know about amarok, i know about gtk-pod, i know many people don't want DRM in Ubuntu. But if you have a perfectly working iTunes in Ubuntu you will draw more users. Put it in the partner repos, just like Parallels. You can always display a warning about DRM and propietary software when you choose to install it.

Detect it when someone puts his headphones into the LineIn port of a Laptop  
Written by Detructor the 29 Feb 08 at 12:30. Global category: Multimedia. Not an idea
Hi,

this is something that I realy miss since I've choosen to not use Windows anymore, I don't have any chance to get sound over my headphones and many other users even miss this feature.

It should be possible to only plug a headphone into the LineIn port of a Laptop, get sound over it and disable the *normal* sound boxes.

Share codecs among applications  
Written by Eldmannen the 20 Mar 08 at 17:17. Global category: Multimedia. New
I opened a video in VLC media player, and it worked just fine and played.

Then I opened the very same video in Totem, and get the error "The required software to play this file is not installed. You need to install suitable codecs to play media files. Do you want to search for a codec that supports the selected file?"

Now this is just dumb. Obviously this codec is already installed since VLC could play it.

Am I supposed to install the same codec for every video player software I use?

The codecs should be shared among applications!

Written by Eldmannen the 18 Mar 08 at 00:15. Global category: Others. New
All modern operating systems like Windows Vista and Mac OS X comes shipped with widgets.

Mac OS X comes with Dashboard.
Windows Vista comes with Windows Vista Sidebar.

Ubuntu should ship with some widget thing too!

Change theme to square corners instead of round corners  
Written by Eldmannen the 2 Apr 08 at 14:27. Global category: Look and Feel. Won't implement
Change the theme to use square corners instead of round corners.

Square corners are nicer.
Round corners are ugly.
