A smart meta-OS, a computer butler a la Jarvis. I want a ultra-light weight daemon that sits on my network and learns what I use, when and where. Then, after getting a fair amount of data it starts to subtly suggest my next step.

Say, I use Itunes every morning at 6 am for my morning run, except on Sundays or holidays. My Jarvis would see that I'm up and going outside and it's a Tuesday and get my regular playlist ready as a little icon on an unobtrusive toolbar. Or whatever it finds and figures out. Sure it would be a little clunky at first, but people tend to be regular and predictable. Also, people tend to externalize their bodily functions, fire is an external step of digestion and clothing is an external form of fur.
