#42Print kiosks where customers can print out a customized "newspaper" with a customized subset of news articles scraped from the web
I can't tell if you are serious or joking. How can you simply scrape someone's content and sell it? It would be copyright violation.
Who's talking about selling it?

#43An o-shibori (hot towel) service. They're common in Japanese restaurants, and when I visited Tokyo in the middle of summer, I looked forward to the hot towel almost as much as the meal. You could resell or lease the equipment and provide daily laundry / sterilization service.

#44Earlier quoted context omitted.
Nice to see you around Bemmu! How is CandayJapan going? you still owe me a free shipment for endorsing you ;-) In seriousness though, this is excellent advice - have a taste of something that's just not local. I know a well known YC company founder wanted to do something similar with whiskey... but ran into way too much overhead and administration issues with customs - costs, legality, shipping and way too much to li…
Thanks it's doing great, I was planning on writing an updated post about it. Well, here's rough early draft: http://piratepad.net/bchs9UaK6A I wasn't sure if you were joking about promising a free shipment or not, so I sent you a gift card over email just to be sure :)
I love your idea and will probably subscribe soon. I couldn't find a Twitter account on your home page - this would be a great thing to do. I would follow the account even before subscribing to candy delivery, and seeing posts from you would keep it top of mind so I would remember to subscribe. And of course make it easier for me to publicize your great idea. :)

Why are you assuming there is no deal in place here?

#46go through all the small local shops and offer them SEO services. most of them have terrible sites so "on-site" seo will work great. You'll make a couple thousand. Good way to make some money when you really need it after moving in
What do you mean "after moving in"? That's a good idea. I always wonder: what if the site is already set up correctly or what if you can't make any movement in search rankings (due to competition, industry, anything)
You sleep in their shops of course! "Oh, don't mind that woman sleeping beside the cans of soup, she is our SEO expert!"
By rotating where you sleep among your clients, you build stronger relationships and have better insight into their business.

From what I read, the idea was very sound and validated by some great initial success.

#48Christmas tree delivery service by bikes: http://kantaa.hu/karacsony
I thought about doing something like this last year. It was in more of a suburban area, so we'd use cars / trucks, but the idea was to allow people to order trees online, and then deliver them a few times a week at set times (between 9-12am on Saturday, etc).

#49Print kiosks where customers can print out a customized "newspaper" with a customized subset of news articles scraped from the web
This could be kind of neat, especially for older people that are less familiar with computers, but still want to stay informed. Let them select their interests, and deliver a customized newspaper.

#50Taxi/bus company rate comparisons. Most transit companies provide fare information on their website, as well as a search function which rarely includes a CAPTCHA, so getting updates is easy.
There's not many bus services in my city and the taxi situation is: - Flag the taxi down - all the same price - Hailo which loads of people use all the time now - 20% discount taxis - 25% discount taxis So I don't think we really have a taxi problem
Lucky you. Our taxis prices are all over the place, some charge a callout fee and others don't, and some hide the meter and charge whatever the hell they want - I'd use a price comparison service for this for sure
