I'd like to be able to get some kind of news feeds (scrolling bar, or something of the sort) on the XMB.

 I like the news features in Life with Playstation. I think if the ticker in the upper right extended across the screen, news could be broadcasted instead of silly stuff like, "go to the Playstation Store!"

An audible tone (which can be enabled or disabled) when you receive a message from a friend.

 I would like this, with the option to turn this on and turn the friend sign in/out notification off.

I'd like the ability to enter a web address before having to launch the browser. 

 I don't like having to wait for my home page to load before going to another one. Either have an internet search type feature that brings up your favorites, or assign a button to stop the loading of the page at any time.

I don't need to see my own PSN ID on my friends list.  This can go away. (not really an addition)

 My own PSN ID can be merged with where I look at my trophies. Then where I can change my account information can be merged, as well.

And lastly, I really wish that the eyecam PSN titles could be used as backgrounds while playing music.  I bought the eyecam, and then I bought nearly every title that is compatible with it.  A patch to the PSN titles could be implemented similar to in-game music, and now I have an animated fish tank on my screen while I'm listening to Tool or Miley Cyrus.  The "Mezmerize" title would be awesome as well.  Especially for parties.  Your guests are interacting, directly or indirectly, with the images on the screen.

I don't know what any of the eyecam titles look like, but it sounds like a solid addition that would be a good reason for leaving the PS3 on. Possibly take famous pictures to be shuffled on screen for people to stand behind, having a girl and guy be the classic farmer couple from the American Gothic painting, or Mohammad Ali standing over the other in the ring? This would be like the plywood cutouts seen in amusement parks.

 

Any one of these would be welcomed additions by me.

 I agree with you, man.

Well the eyecam titles (for me) lose their novelty very quickly.  As a matter of fact, I haven't used them since the day I purchased them.  Visually, they are cool.  Kind of like (and some literally like) interactive art pieces, however, you'll find yourself sitting there in silence, staring at your TV, waving your arms around.  There are some sound effects, but overall, it's an audibly boring experience.

As for the fish tank, it's a neat little thing, but again....silence.  What reason or incentive do I have to turn the PS3 on and leave that on the screen with complete silence?  I'd go as far to say that the eyecam titles are almost more ideal as music playback screens than they are interactive/entertaining features.  My idea, simply put, would be to just launch the fish tank title for instance, then hit your ps3 button, and start playing music. 

I agree about the Life with PS news features, I just never leave the PS3 on long enough to finish the computational work the program is intended for.  Surprisingly, this makes me feel guilty...I've probably started 100 "folds" and finished maybe 3. 

One more feature?

Network sharing w/ Macs/PCs, so I can share files over my gigabit lan w/ it.

You can...unless I don't understand what this gigabit LAN is....or network sharing?
