>Batteries that can store the internet in them for when your connection goes down.

This idea is kind of great though. Remember that mcmaster car website? One reason it was so fast is it would silently download the next pages before you visited them. Creating the impression of instant loading. Could we do something similar where a program constantly downloaded websites you were most likely to visit in the background? Eventually having both a mass archive of useful content over time and creating the impression that the web were instant? With how cheap storage space now is and how fast connections are maybe the bottleneck now is efficiency of user input.

"start podcast that is only ads" Brilliant

This would be super useful as a training set for automatically identifying ads in podcasts that contain non-ad content.

If you produced the podcast this would be trivial since you’d know the time stamps for the ad holes.

I love how this has both "An antacid pill that you take once every six weeks." and "An antacid that you only take once a week."

It would be nice to be able to "like" the best ideas. Maybe show "hot" ideas in one column and a random sample on another column? This way readers get what's most relevant while preserving discoverability.

Yes, though I don't think you know how long the ad block will be. I've seen some podcast MP3 files that have the ad spots indicated in the ID3 tag, but that's not super useful because it only gives the original start points.
