Brilliant Brainstorms is a (usually) weekly summary of some of the best/most interesting brainstorms from the Ubuntu Brainstorm site as well as various other Brainstorm-style sites.

Thanks to Window’s tendency to take over the MBR and GRUB, it would be very useful to be able to quickly and easily undo the damage Windows often does when it is installed. This would eliminate a lot of headaches in fixing un-bootable computers after Windows installations.

After telling your computer to shut down, that should really be all you are focused on, so gradually dimming the surroundings of the screen would help to attract the user’s attention. Better yet, this could be done very gradually, so that you have an opportunity to save some things before the darkness takes over.

Home networking is one of the biggest pains of managing computers, but it doesn’t have to be. Software like Windows 7 and Linux’s Giver are already helping to make networking much easier, these tools just need to be made available and included in the distribution.

Alright, you think it’s funny right? My cat considers my keyboard the best place in the house to lie, or at least it seems that way. At the times when I give up and let him lie down, it would be great if the screen would automatically lock, so that I don’t have to worry about what he might do.
