In my previous post, I expressed frustration with trying to automate the accounting and administrative functions of my businesses and announced that I'm now on a quest to find a web-based solution.

Back in 1999, then CEO of Sun Microsystems, Scott McNealy told reporters that consumer privacy issues are a "red herring." "You have zero privacy anyway... Get over it."

Well as always, Google has come to the rescue!

Accounting is not a subject I have written about in many years but, in the slurry of new business and marketing paradigms, we tend to forget that a business is still a business, and its success depends on a good administrative and financial control system.

As most of my friends know, I'm not big on birthday celebrations. In fact, if it weren't for the email I get from my Mom, my birthday would slip by without notice.

This year is different.

My ideas for new technologies generally comes from my frustration with the limits imposed by existing technologies. That said, I thought I'd take a look at what would be, for me, the ideal features for the rumoured Apple "iTablet". It wouldn't surprise me if they call it the that, but I think they can do better. Anyway I'll stick to calling it the iTablet until Apple makes an announcement otherwise.

Keep in mind that the following is not speculation but, rather, my feature wish-list.
