Virtual-reality business!

Buy the virtual-reality rights to monuments, museums, rich people houses, events etc and set up an online business where people pay to visit places or relive virtual experiences. For example, you can now see online almost all artifacts on display in the Louvre using images or short video clips but a virtual 3D tour of the museum for a small fee is still not possible. Virtual-reality business has also tremendous educational value.

that's a joke!

talk gets boring need a good joke but can't come up with one? we could use tiny bluetooth earpieces to connect with our cell phone to get the funny lines. set the phone to be recording the talk. while the other person still talks press a button to do an online search for jokes. the keywords will be the last few words spoken till the button was pressed. perhaps a specially built database or site designed for this purpose might be necessary. before you dismiss this as useless imagine how impressive you could sound if you are a beginner in a foreign language :P

Book restoration

Used books have value because they look like used books with shopworn covers and yellowish pages being part of the mystique that attracts book lovers. But what happens when you spill say coffee in a new book that's glossy and expensive? Is there anywhere you can take it to restore it for less than the cost of buying a new one? Coming up with cheap techniques to do that and selling them in bookstores will be useful and good business. It's similar to instant dirt-removal sprays that are a huge market worldwide!

A way to keep voodoo dolls on the shelves!

French President Nicolas Sarkozy threatened to sue the company that made voodoo dolls with his image if they didn't withdraw them from the shops. Sarkozy will probably win in court but there is a way for the company to still sell the dolls. Partner with another company and sell the doll and the person's image on the doll as two separate things. It will then be up to the customer to put Sarkozy's image on the faceless voodoo doll. The shops will make more money by selling the parts separate and no one will be able to sue the customers. You can't sue a company for libel or invasion of privacy for selling a 'faceless' doll. Similarly, you can't sue another company for innocent-looking faces customers can apply anywhere. Welcome to the world of voodoo doll production! :)

Crimebook

What do you say about a new social networking site for prisoners? It can help reduce prisoner unrest and attempts to escape. Also good for reducing loneliness and frustration which turns inmates equally dangerous after they leave prison. Sounds silly but it wouldn't surprise me if it already exists. Can you suggest some good ideas on how its privacy settings or applications will work? :)

how many negatives make a positive?

don't we not need to not need to not use too much negation to not make a non-positive statement?

some people get confused because they read into it. it's easy ** don't read, just count! ** you only need one pair of negatives to make a positive which you can then repeat endlessly. so if you have to find out if a long statement using only negatives is positive all you have to determine is whether the number of negations is odd or even, if it's even it's positive, if it's odd it's negative.
