I liked the idea of a camera in any new Apple screen sold (flat screen or iMac or iBook). The idea can be extended to a new community: the iMeet community (new tag on Apple web site, between iTools and iCard).
Apple will provide a secured web site where everybody can meet and video-chat, supervised. This site will be available to any MacOS X.2 user. Only the owner of the mac will be able to open other links for connection for the user's of the mac, so that parents (or teachers) can have some control of their children access on the web.
This may create a huge community. Open because the owner of the machine can open it. Controlled because default mode is limited to monitored sites. And as MacOS X is as secure as UNIX, this principle is secure !
It needs 3 things: a camera on each screen, a clients software in each MacOS X.2 and a video-chat server.
