Really nice idea. I think it applies equally the other way too, my wife is quite tricky to buy for and it is nice to have a concise list of ideas like you've presented. Two email l…

Cool idea and seems to work, but might be good if it was activated by pressing a button rather than just a visit to the page - I am now logged out of a number these services just b…

Another take on this sort of thing: http://app.dumpark.com/sunlight/ The guys behind this apparently wanted to know the best place to go for a beer at any time of the day. They use…

A bigger issue to me is what do you do with Lily after it has run out of battery. I don't think I want to carry it for the rest of the day on the ski fields, mountain biking, trail…

As a kid in the 1970's living in New Zealand most of our local apples (NZ grows a lot of apples) were green. Imported Red Delicious used to sit in the supermarket looking so red an…

I would assume because PostgreSQL (the DB he is using) doesn't support importing from JSON?

Add Excel spreadsheets and Access databases to that list. Best thing, someone else has already proven their is a need for the system and a working solution!

Two ways I can think of. 1. You do a real job for a while. Work in a large organisation, see what pain points they have, which ones are probably similar to other businesses and whi…

I'm working on this exact issue with a delivery company currently. The biggest question they have is "would you pay for it?". Would you pay extra to receive a message to advise of …

In New Zealand there have been 30 deaths since 2000 ( http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objecti... ), a country of 4 million where like the US most people have a…

A lot of cars with cameras don't seem to have rear object detection systems (that beep inside the car when something is behind you and you are in reverse). I doubt most people use …

Depending where the OP is in the world, this sounds ripe for constructive dismissal, but I'd encourage you to really think about it before going down this route. It will create a m…

You can be an entrepreneur at any point, you can only be a father to these young children once. Relax and enjoy your children, especially whilst they are very young. My kids are 6 …

I would say the developer has thought about their own requirements and knowledge, much like you have in your comment by thinking only of Europe whereas pretty much every other coun…

You are feeling screwed? Because it was disclosed you entered a competition? What were you going to do if you got in, wear a balaclava and talk through some sort of voice altering …

Disclaimer: Most of my knowledge of the Wild West comes from the movies. In the WW they used to quite like public hangings, both legal and illegal. Why do you think they did this r…

Whilst this article is about more than just pitching everyone, that is the first thing that hits you, and personally I disagree with that as an approach. If you are at college comi…

That is certainly what I used to love about Techcrunch, and whilst I think it is natural that as they have gotten bigger they have gone more mainstream and do a lot more coverage o…

This guy sounds very talented, except perhaps at finding a job. He describes lots of interesting things he can do, without really describing what benefits he can offer to a potenti…
