Their new logo screams airline to me - I can only see it on the side of an aircraft.

There's a similar service in place for Gov.UK:

Nice to see IE gets updated a lot quicker in the US than it does in the UK (though there aren't browser usage statistics available for Gov.UK sites I don't think...)!
The rental market in London is pretty ferocious. I don't think comments could work because you'd always run the risk that somebody has decided they like a place and want out off other people from looking. In the end you'd still have to check the place yourself. I like a lot of your other ideas though and user photos could definitely work.
I agree with the user comments issue. Maybe a way of vetting them, possibly if other viewers agree with previous comments, they become publicly available?
EDIT: ...but even then, you might not get personal opinions. Tough one!
Analytics on all of my application usage, email, chats, texts, twitter and facebook interactions, and map locations. Should provide outputs like Google Now, but run on my own operating system (preferably Linux-based).
This (http://www.jwz.org/blog/2014/01/psa-back-up-your-shit/) should be good jumping off point to get a lot of the stuff. The system should have customisable hooks written in something like Python to write your own "filters". e.g. "If I've been in emacs for 1 hour straight, pop up a reminder to take an eye break, etc."
Suggestions? Thoughts?
RescueTime [1] seems to be along the right lines here, and is available on Linux. Doesn't appear to be able to track emails/texts/social interaction, though, only the time spent in applications and websites.
A mobile application to assist in the job of house/flat hunting.
Something that could tie in to RightMove (at least in the UK), access your saved properties, and provide a simple interface to schedule viewings (although I guess this would still have to be a manual process to book viewings, but the app should provide a calendar to store them in).
The app could then alert you when the viewing is soon, and provide an interface for you to rate the viewing, add comments and maybe your own photographs to remind you later on, rather than having to scribble notes down on the same piece of paper that becomes home to your chewing gum the next day.
On a social front, it would be good to see how many other people were viewing the same property, to gauge the interest, and maybe you would be able to see an overall rating of a property based on what other people that have viewed think about it?
House/Flat adverts are still relatively useless in the process of finding somewhere suitable, and until you can view and see a property for yourself, it's impossible to tell. I think it would be very useful to be able to see ratings and comments from other users, such as "the second bedroom is a lot smaller than the photos show, and the flooring in the bathroom seriously needs replacing!".
It doesn't look like there's an available API for RightMove at the moment, so I'm not sure how the integration could happen. Still, a stand-a-lone app could still be a worthwhile idea?
If you feel that you'll be taking on the responsibilities of someone who was previously your boss (and I'm therefore assuming a higher paid position in the company), then I'd argue that you have every right to -- at the very least -- ask about the options. If they value your contributions so far enough to give you more responsibilities, then they should be open to increasing your compensation, too. Good luck!

My guess is they (Netflix) are contractually bound by the studios to use DRM.
Agreed. Surely Netflix doesn't care ultimately, but studios are only going to sign contracts with them if they have things in place to guarantee it's all secure, i.e. DRM. There's surely no way that Netflix would fight for this, and then LOVEFiLM wouldn't use it as well?
