I’ve got the Million Dollar Idea: The Caffiderm Patch!
A device you can put in the bathtub that keeps the water HOT without electricuting you.
Tell you so I can have the pleasure of seeing it on an infomercial 2 months from now? Ha! You can’t pull that twice!
An over the counter pain reliever patch. This would have worked great last week when I had the flu and couldn’t keep anything down or in.
Not exactly an invention, but why in the name of Thragg’s bloody sheep do they not sell extras of those videotape lable stickers? They sell them for every other form of data storage ever created, but not tapes . . .

They do make them. http://www.shoplet.com/office/db/g1231.html
The opposite of a microwave… Put a warm beer(or whatever) in it and 30 seconds later it’s as cold and refreshing as a cool mountian stream.
Once I was at this guy’s house, and I thought his microwave had a “cool” button on it. It blew my mind! I was thought it was the best idea ever. Then, when I actually looked at the microwave, I saw that I had misread “cook.”
So I second your idea.
I’m with ianzin on the tax form issue. It is too hard to file taxes, and I’m not a dumb person. I don’t have a complicated tax situation. I work hard for my money, the government takes some, and then I have to work harder to get some back? I’m not against taxes, I’m against the forms.
Other inventions …
Something that will keep the average deer from jumping into the road. Surely there’s something that deer don’t like that could be cleverly placed in problem areas.
A cable TV package that lets you pick your own channels. All I want is the History Channel and ESPN. That’s it. No movies, no non-MTV, no home shopping, just History and ESPN. I’m sure this is already available in some areas.
Seat belts that I can use without having one-half of my cleavage pinned to my stomach, and the other half wedged under my chin.
Hell, why chance any misunderstanding? How about an LED message board that runs across the bottom of your back window, controlled by a keyboard in the console? That way you can tell them exactly what you think. For that matter, there could be another at the top of the windshield, with mirror-imaged text for the driver in front of you.
On the other hand, we could avoid much of the necessity for such devices if someone would develop an auto air freshener that emits lethal fumes and comes as standard equipment on minivans.
Did you ever think to do it yourself and not wait for someone else to make it for you???
Well, I keep trying to make zombies but I don’t have enough braaaaaaains.
Who the hell as a a VC… oh, zombie. Form 2001. Did you think there would ever be an iPhone???
I’m sure the people who posted to this thread some 15 years ago are feeling suitably chastised, especially since they don’t seem to have gotten around to any of these things yet.
Meanwhile, could you explain what’s up with the 25 question marks? Is your question 25 times more a question than any other question?
yeah reading the earlier post about violin sheet music it seemed like it wouldn’t be too hard to set up a tablet with sheet music that moved along as you played
then I saw it was made in 2001
wow life sure is different today

Yep. This. It’s truly a bitch to sit outside and try to keep your music from changing pages or blowing away in the wind. I currently use rocks to hold it down. Yeah, I could get a proper stand, but I would still need to turn the pages. Kindle has the reading outside figured out. Make it a bit bigger. And tech is possible that it could follow your notes and turn the page for you, or, just a key word.
By whom?
Hear, hear. When I come into some money remind me to put up some capital towards that.
They exist, not really that uncommon - you should be able to find several options to choose from.
