Kidnap vacations. The ultimate thrill ride. You pay them some amount of money and they will arrive at your home, blindfold you, put you on a plane, and then take it off once you are in the foreign country. Then you have to work out where you are and how to get back. I believe the government has been doing this for a while now.
A digg-style grocery store, where customers can vote online for new products.
Rental for moving boxes. Whenever I move, which is fairly frequently, I have to make some trip somewhere just to get boxes. Then there's the effort of breaking them down and then either storing them or throwing them away. How about some boxes which are just a little bit sturdier than normal, which could be rented? They are delivered to your home and then picked up again (perhaps part of the moving service) and reused…

Or a windup netbook? The next generation of Intel mobile chips are supposed to run on one watt. They already sell windup flashlights that run on one watt.

Just to play devil's advocate, how much more information would this offer over purchase data?
Of course, just because people vote for something doesn't mean they'll actually go to the store and pick it up.

The idea is to find out what people want ahead of time, rather than buying a bunch of product only to find out that nobody wants it. Of course, just because people vote for something doesn't mean they'll actually go to the store and pick it up.
So...how often do people know new products exist, let alone whether they want them, if the supermarket isn't already selling them?
Not trying to shoot you down, I think it's an interesting idea, just trying to make sure I understand it.
Movie Software that provides stock footage of fixed sets (homes, gardens, etc) and places you in those settings perfectly. Also same with cars and so on - the software should be at a level where you could make a full movie without ever leaving your home.
Great idea, I need this software right now. But I think it should be combination of Software, video cameras and green screen. Would pay a good money for that.

Oh, I thought you were talking about something for consumers to get new product recommendations, rather than something to help the supermarkets target their inventory.

New product lines could be "featured" weekly, and the ones that pass a certain vote threshold get ordered. If a product you voted for gets added, perhaps you get an email with a coupon.
Since the newspapers are about to die, we need something to replace the government/corporate watchdog function of journalism. (sensational news, sports, classifieds, entertainment, and celebritard news have already migrated elsewhere, so let's not consider them.) Some form of hyper-customizable newsletter service, providing updates on upcoming legislation or business deals. There are large firms who already subscribe…
