• A comment on Conversation: Making ideas "open source"

  Mar 6 2011: hmmm, i was thinking about this aswell, i think although the site you created was nice, i think it needs to be a bit more simple (design wise) and have the possibilities of technicalities (so you can have very vague ideas like most of the ones on your site at the moment) or more detailed ones which could then be reproduced by other people.
  You would also need to register each idea under the GPL (or one where companies cannot just make money out of somebody elses hard work, but for individuals to be able to reproduce ideas and suggest amendments) so that people who post their ideas on there know their idea will not be taken up by a big company and they will get no money after doing all the hard work
  i was mainly thinking it because my dad has so many wacky ideas which could possibly work, but he isnt such a great doer, he is better at thinking so if somebody else wanted to make them they could.

• A reply on Talk: Zach Kaplan and Keith Schacht demo toys from the future

  Feb 4 2010: They mentioned a company called 3M but i cannot remember which product it was for, it may be of use, but it is just a thought, i was quite annoyed actually, because i wouldn't mind some of these products to have a play with but couldn't find anywhere to buy them :(
