Tablet Computers

Tablet computers, in my opinion, will replace laptops in the very near future.  The tablet accomplishes the needs of nearly all computer users.  It provides a clean interface for internet browsing, has far superior gaming abilities, and allows for social networking in many different formats.  Tablets are also more portable and have greater battery life.

Tablets also create a much better market for software developers.  On a computer today users rarely pay for services, no matter how good they are.  Software purchases on a computer are somewhat annoying and don't leave the consumer with the sense of gains from the purchase.  For some reason however, tablet users purchasing from an established "app market" feel differently.  Perhaps it's the pricing structure, or maybe the preset payment system, whatever it is, users rarely "pirate" applications.  This means that software developers for tablets can be much more profitable than their pc counterparts (at the same skill level).

All this leads me to believe that businesses which offer services optimized on tablets will soon be more profitable than those who optimize for pc.

Employee Ranking Service

I'd like to build a website which allows employers to rank their employees and vise-versa.  The rankings would be hidden from the person who is being ranked to protect against biases.  In other words, employees are unable to see their own ranking or any other person's for that matter.  Employers are able to see any potential employee's ranking but must pay a monthly fee for that information.

One problem is that employers may not be motivated to give a review to an employee unless he has done a poor job.  However I believe that employees that leave on good terms would be able to convince their employer to rank them.
