Ubiquity
I have only two computers that I use and already I miss the features Benjamin Otte describes in his recent blog post. Fortunately there is some work being done for this already! I noticed that Conduit has GConf module. I haven’t tried it so I don’t know how well it works but it’s a set to the right direction. For applications I’m not aware of any solutions, but for regular files there already some services available like Dropbox and Ubuntu One. Wouldn’t it just be a matter of bringing these all together under easy configuration system and automatic background synchronization?
I would like see GNOME go to that direction as it shouldn’t interfere with single computer use model GNOME has today. You could just decide to use it if you want.

I have been thinking that I should have my home directory as a git repository.
Problems may arise if I forgot to commit and push, however. Also, I would need a server computer that is trusted by me.
Local copy is always very nice thing. Even if I would be on my laptop without network I would have some copy and history of the data.
