Video games for dogs?
Yes! Clearly: a harness with a slot for a Wii-mote. Implement for cats also, branded "MWii-ow."
On a related note:
Porn games for the Wii.

#192Sell sunscreen in little packets (like ketchup packets) that can fit in your wallet. That way you'll never forget sunscreen. Should I patent* this? * I hate patents.
I actually carry sunscreen with me at all times. I use it maybe once a year, and I can't predict when.

#193Earlier quoted context omitted.
Relevant point, but money was created to abstract before we had general-purpose abstracting machines like computers with their associated tools. If it wouldn't get you in trouble with the IRS (big "if"), I think it'd be fascinating to see the new tool applied to the old problem. It might create an entirely new kind of market.
Bartering doesn't get you in trouble with the IRS, as long as any income you earn from it (be that a cow, an hour-long massage, or sixteen clay beads) gets declared on your tax return at "fair market value". And then, obviously, you pay income tax on it. The IRS will accept just about anything to satisfy your tax obligations, as long as "anything" is US dollars. The Internet has provided a medium for new growth in th…
If people like the new bartering system enough, trying to enforce such onerous reporting requirements will incite a tax revolt.

That idea's been done, but if you could develop a packet of goo that could be used as both ketchup and sunscreen, then you'd have something. You could put half on your burger, and the other half on your face. Huge time saver.

#195I've always wondered why social networks don't ally with music labels and promote/sell music. Small networks can contact indie labels, and huge networks can work with sony, etc ... It just seems to me that music is the perfect social product...
Isn't this basically what Myspace is doing?
Yeah but I think it has taken them a long time to realize. What I am getting at is a music advertising/sales marketplace where "any" social network could sign up and promote/sell music. This would be another possible solution to monetizing social networks. So if I maintained a 100k high school football network, There would be an easy way to integrate music ads. And when I say music I mean new acts in general, tours, specific shows, and of course actual product releases/merch sales. As I said, music is very social and everyone likes some kind of music.

#196A magnifying glass with bluetooth to project the images on your pc, with a shutter to take snapshots of what you're looking at, with different zoom levels and as powerful as a microscope.
Imagine the kids running around the house taking shots of worms, spiders, ants, etc. and sharing them online.

#198I've always thought about a system for teaching kids about programming by building AI players for online games. The system would consist of 3 components: 1. A screen scraping/computer vision toolkit that would supply most of the AI primitives to interpret games 2. An interpreter for each game that would provide an machine usable API to interact with the game 3. An AI program that would then play the game Component 1…

#200A remote control program like FogCreek Copilot designed for OMG-SLOW connections.
I want to be able to disable screen updates except for manually triggered refreshes of certain areas, or to block out areas I don't want to refresh until instructed otherwise. I want extremely low bandwidth low detail options that fill in like progressive JPG instead of line-by-line from the top. I want to be able to cancel data transfer and reset to nothing. I want the remote client to screen-scrape and send compressed text and outlines of windows and to be able to send it high level Windows support instructions like "open the control panel" and have it not refresh the screen until that's done.
I can orient myself in a Windows desktop with a small amount of information, but I can't stand hideously slow remote control connections.
