Google Proxima - the Latest

Here's an idea I submitted to Google (or tried anyway):

You have a doc with a list of addresses. Can you provide a tool - online - that can take the doc and take one address the the user provides and then list the addresses available in the doc in the ascending order of distance to the user's address? For example, I searched the web for recycling resources in TExas and came up with a list of addresses in DAllas. Now, I have to put each one into Mapquest to find out which one is the closest.

Fight Bad Breath

of your dance partner. If you've had this experience, you know it's can make an enjoyable experience very unpleasant. How about a gadget that has a nozzle that you mount like a mike, on your collar or button - quite discreet of course - that senses if you tense your abdomen or something and releases a spray of fragrance to combat a noisome stench? Come on Schaeferes Bild!!

The Future of Entertainment

You'll be able to experience thoughts, emotions and feelings of the characters. For example, it remains a mystery why Mrs. Robinson didn't want Ben to take Elaine out. But, in the future, you'll know - of course, it'll be fictitious, but something's better than nothing.

RFID Enables a Secure Zone Around Your House

Weight sensors around your house know if there are people there. Then, those permitted to be there must carry some form of ID that will allow your home to know that they were there. They could have the ID on their key chains, jewellry, wherever they want. This way, you'll know about everyone who got to within striking or stealing distance - the postal worker, the man from the power company. And if they don't have the RFID - people will be notified and cameras will do their best to get a good description.

Multiview Broadcasting

People have tried this before, but folks only used to have one TV at that time. Now, if you have multiple monitors or TVs, why not receive feeds from different cameras at the same action? That would be cool wouldn't it? For example (really, just an example to demonstrate), at the tonight show, one camera is on Jay and one is on Kevin and you'd like to watch both. It'd be more lifelike.

Two Sided Scanner

This is probably where the sheetfeed can make a big comeback. Mostly, you're scanning a doc that's got two sides (the most a sheet of paper can have, kind of like an equation - there are only two sides to an equation) and so this would be really convenient to have to do just one operation to capture it. A billion dollar idea. Now pay me you corporate pigs:)
