"Why the hell are people still arguing this point." Because you obviously haven't got a clue what you are talking about, keep contradicting yourself, and don't know anything about neither ideas nor execution. At least not in real life. I won't reply more to this conversation - it is a pain to write, and probably boring to read.

A good way to come up with new ideas is live outside the tech world. Get a non-tech job in a totally different field. Haven't tried that myself, but I'd bet you'd come up with some good ideas that way.
Careful there! That implies that the best way to come up with solutions to a problem in an industry would be to get outside of it so you can get an external, top-down perspective on emerging trends and unmet needs. Then if you get an idea, you'll get a bug to implement it. But everybody will just laugh at you and scoff, "Pssst - what would you know about that? You don't even work in that field! You're not credible!"
Which would put you in pretty good company.

Your understanding of Google is not at all accurate.
On another note, I just looked at your profile and read some of your articles. Why take issues with "my understanding of Google" when it turns out I'm making a similar point to what you wrote about in terms of being humble enough to put pride aside and find out what people actually want/need/will pay for rather assuming for them only to find out that nobody cares about the brilliant programming of an idea nobody but…

Nope. I think you're just redefining execution and idea to blur the line so that what is the result of a good idea is now under the category of execution. Why the hell are people still arguing this point. In my mind the argument of "execution" vs. "good idea" is like arguing whether food or water or air or sleep is more important. You need all. Case closed. I think as people who "execute" programmers tend to have (fr…

I just got a bit disillusioned.

I think firewall and NAT ubiquitousness (is that a word?) would make this unfeasible.
Yet another reason to speed the transition to IPv6.

Patentable and useful doesn't necessarily mean good business. I'm assuming the "bored developer" wants to start a business around whatever idea he can't think of. There are ideas, some useful, some even patentable, but to make a business you need not so much patents but the ability to present it in such a way that a prospective customer thinks, "That provides me with more value than the price they're asking for, so I…
Useful implies that a potential customer in the specific market would want to pay for it. ;-) Regarding your starbucks example: the value of Starbucks is not in the idea but in the execution, and that is not what this thread is about. And while I don't mind giving away ideas I can't help anybody execute. Unless I get paid to do so of course ;-)
If you can find a product that makes a "pain" go away -- you've probably got something marketable.

Sorry about the brash comment above, it doesn't add value to the discussion. I just got a bit disillusioned.
If you care to discuss, may I ask what in particular got you disillusioned?
