    Here is another one. The remote control with a fob so you push something on the tv and the remote beeps so you can find it.

      I have a few ideas.

      Is it worth patenting things you think have potential? Or is the legal cost to high to get it right?

        You could always do a "poor man's" copyright and mail the idea, specs, whatever to yourself via certified mail.

        Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

          I'm just curious if those usually hold up.

          I've been working on a poor man's will and my father glanced over it revealed lots of holes. He's a retired lawyer. I guess I could have him do the same for my patent.

              Red Box. Everytime I rent a movie at Red Box I kick myself for not thinking of the idea.

                Which begs the question why don't they have vending machines for dry cleaning? Drop it off at the machine and its delivered to your house in a couple of days. Something like that.

                  It's not cheap to get a patent (I have a few). Plus it takes several years to get one actually issued.

                  It's much easier to think up some good idea than it is to turn it into a product. It's even more difficult to actually make some money off of it.

                  Still, I like to see new ideas turn into useful products, even if it looks obvious.

                    Man, all of those inventions sucked.

                              Vending machines at the gas station. Are there some kind of health codes the prohibit this? As I understand it, gas stations generate most of their profit from their convenience stores and not from the gas so I've wondered about everyone now paying at the pump. I know that occasionally I want to get a soda when I stop for gas, but it's a bother to go into the store and make a separate purchase.

                              Why not add a menu screen to the gas pump display that offers you a soda or other items before you complete your transaction? Then there could be a vending machine there at the pump island where you could retrieve your purchase.
