The pizza button info is here, but they're out of stock: http://www.redtomato.biz/magnet/
no idea why out of stock. OK -- take this idea to next level. Why dont develop a wifi ready button (everyone that buys the button need to pair it with their wifi) - probably cost of <$5,000 (kickstarter?) and have a simple web page like your router admin has that you can choose different pizza vendors, then work directly with pizzerias in the hood to offer them additional channel of sale! that would be my take.
Number 3: A startup in the same co-working space as me is working on exactly that (amongst other things) – http://www.audioanalytic.com/
Are you in the St. Johns Innovation Centre?
No, ideaSpace, out in West Cambridge – http://www.ideaspace.cam.ac.uk/ – where I work on a product called Unifyo which helps businesses integrate separate information systems, cloud applications and e-mail in a lightweight way (https://unifyo.com). Always happy to chat, e-mail in profile.
Here's a few I've been thinking about: - Remote aid delivery by drone: build and send small robotic aircraft to remote areas and drop aid, preferably starting with medicine (lightweight and very useful). Small helicopters (quadrotor drone copters as you see at TED/MIT) could land and accept return packages if necessary. Trips could be made to hazardous places where human-driven aid drops can't venture. Additionally,…
OK, here is the list of my ideas. "working" on it for years, never had balls to start implementing, BUT I am computer programmer if you want to work on any of those together, let me know. Otherwise take it, "steal it", and make it big. And mention you heard it from joe :) - watches exchange club. you are doing as a middle man between watch lover. X amount to signup + monthly fee gives your user base access to each ot…
UniKey is doing the "iPhone door opener" idea. Very cool tech - can't wait until it's available. http://www.unikeytech.com/
Solve the Time Problem. As in "I'm a developer with a great idea but no time to do it".
Perhaps if someone has a bit of spare cash left over from the day job they could pay someone else to build their project for them (subject to stringent code review). Sort of like Rentacoder but more fine grained.

I like this one: - drawing together app. similar to draw something, but lets parents and children to use separate devices to draw together, or color cartoons, etc. I could see me playing that with my daughter. As a general point, currently educational/fun apps for children in Google Play all seem to be aimed at pre-schoolers. I'd like some games/apps for those aged 5-11. Doesn't necessarily have to be educational. EG…
the drawing app is my top # if I ever had a chance to find some time and execute it. Gadders, if you would like to be the first beta tester, contact me via email on my profile and will let you know the progress.
Here is my list of ideas: 1. Problem: Difficult to implement shipping for any business, website, store, etc. You only have UPS/FedEx Solution: Kayak for Shipping - Developer implements shipping API, which enables back end to do a rate shopping engine for shipping, which taps into APIs for FedEx, USPS, UPS, and allows local shippers to qualify for the program, including PostMates and any other Joe Schmo interested in…
I feel that Problem 3 is a more legal and socio-political issue than a marketplace issue. How do you control organ trafficking from poor undeveloped countries?

Ah, but that's where the best hacks can occur usually where legal or socio-political issues keep the best solution from occuring. Unlike a real marketplace, a co-op is an agreed marketplace, so it won't allow new entrants unless they join. To fix the undeveloped country problem, you just limit to the US first. The perspective should be that individuals who want to contribute their organs to the co-op can, but are also allowed to partake in it later as well.

I think another solution could be to link the Organ Donor programs together. I think several US states have DMVs that register Organ Donation options. It could be a good starting point to get Donors matched up with Recipients. On similar lines, various blood donation program registries and bone marrow registries can also be incorporated in this marketplace. At least we will be sure that who ever is participating is doing so out of his/her own will.

RE: Habibreaker, check out Stickk.com . Really interesting work by a behavioral economist and people use it!
