A house should be comfortable first.
Here are some things I suggest

-Double paned windows, soundproofing the outside walls (or possibly the walls around your offices/bedroom)
-Air filtration, humidity, and temperature control (vastly underrated for overall comfortabiliy of house)
-Heated toilet seats (trust me, you won't ever want to go back)

If all your comfort needs are already met, then here are my "fun" suggestions:

-Swimming pool
-Theatre room with projector, lazyboys, badass sound system of some sort
-Computer Closet with extender cables for monitor / peripherals routed out of it (no noise from fans is nice)

I wouldn't hardwire any cables, but having a conduit system is nice. Once you have it installed between your offices and computer closet, you can just pull the cables you need with a fish tape.

The whole "Video games make you violent" debate was squashed in the 90s. Lets leave it dead. I suggest that people who play xbox 360 are in general more pro military than most. I don't want to make a stereotype here, but we all know what the xbox stereotype is: a 16-24 year old "bro" who is libertarian, holds slightly sexist views, and is pro military. Maybe there is some truth in that stereotype.

I can't believe that in 2012 we STILL doesn't have direct comparability of software between operating systems. Wasn't this something we were going to fix in the 80s? Writing a program shouldn't be writing it for a particular OS, it should be writing it for computers in general. This is the kind of thing the government needs to mandate. (yes, I'm aware of the open source movement and have not been burying my head in the sand, I just think its bullshit that none of the big players can come together and agree on a damn standard of interoperability. Its like we've completely lost sight of that goal.
