Advancing computer technology notwithstanding, the best thing for jotting down ideas is still paper (and a suitable writing implement).
Paper is unsurpassed in making formless, unrestricted input. For example, suppose I am in the process of creating a new game. So, I can write down a few ideas of how the games should play. Then jump on to making some sketches about game pieces. Then move onto jotting down some numbers in the form of a table. Then go back to the sketches to annotate parts of them.
So, computers should be able to do that.
Consider a flat surface. I can write on the surface (probably with a stylus) anywhere. Anything I write on it will be displayed immediately. It must have a very high resolution so I can make sketches and draw pictures and have them look actually nice. The surface should be just a viewport into a very large area, and I can freely scroll around.
Anything I wrote I should be able to revise, including erasing, modifying, inserting, and deleting. I should be able to use "pens" of various colours and thicknesses. I should be able to highlight parts of the written material. With a command, a badly drawn table would become a nice neat one.
But that's just the beginning. You can ask it to spellcheck, to bring up a calculator, to provide shapes for charts, to convert your speech into text, to do matrix calculations or numerical analysis.
Feel free to add your own.

Have any of you guys ever tried Python? I took a look for it and I think it seems nice. I think it has lots potential.
if you're interested, check out www.python.org
What made me interested is that it's very easy to learn, it's good language to start from, it's that easy. But still it's quite powerful.

I second the reverse image google idea. I've been wanting that for quite some time.
Exult in your existence, because that very process has blundered unwittingly on its own negation. Only a small, local negation, to be sure: only one species, and only a minority of that species; but there lies hope. [...] Stand tall, Bipedal Ape. The shark may outswim you, the cheetah outrun you, the swift outfly you, the capuchin outclimb you, the elephant outpower you, the redwood outlast you. But you have the biggest gifts of all: the gift of understanding the ruthlessly cruel process that gave us all existence [and the] gift of revulsion against its implications.

What do you mean by unpartitioning? Something that Partition Magic can't do?

Well, I partitioned my drives, and I want to undo that, but I don't want to have to deal with an external hard drive to put all my data on...

That's not a standalone thing, it's just a method to be applied.

Python is very nice. If you like it, you should also look at Smalltalk, the grand daddy of all pure OO languages.
