Walk-Up Drive-Thru.

I'm not entirely sure why I can't walk through the flim-flam drive-thru, and so if their problem as I assume it to be is that they don't want skidmarked motherfuckers, then give me a walk-thru lane. Thank you.

Google images.

Should work like Facebook pictures where you can just rotate through them by clicking 'next.'

Movie clubs.

Last week, I saw a horror movie at a club and while it was possibly the worst viewing experience I've ever had, I think there's room for a movie club. Like, how new bands come every night, they'll play a new movie every night and you can drink and talk to other people during the movie and, if you don't want noise, there's a cordoned off area where you can watch it without people yelling at the screen and shit. All right!

Web-based OS.

Being able to use something like your Google homepage as a way to access the contents of your whole computer. So you don't have to leave your web browser to look at the contents on your computer. Your personal pictures can load in the browser, your music and videos can play in the browser. Sorry, this seems simple and unnecessary right now, but I feel like there's a bigger idea here.

Socks

When I take off my socks, they usually come off inside out. They should make socks that are the same inside out as they are regular so you don't have to spend time flipping them back when you do laundry.

Man, laundry sucks.

a book

Pre-show.

I've got a soft spot for when studio-audience shows open up and they seem to be reacting to something someone in the audience said during the pre-show warm-up. It'd be nice if they showed the audience warm-up online before the show so that 1, people like me who get really excited about The Daily Show can understand what Jon Stewart's starting jokes are about and 2, people like me who get really excited about The Daily Show can pump up for the show while my sister's finishing off Law & Order.

Thank you.

Sorta like water shoes, but socks

Socks that are water-proof on the bottom and up your foot about a centimeter, then super breathable on top. Good for shoes that aren't meant for walking on wetness, like Toms in the winter or after some rain, Uggs, and other brands that have more penetrable soles.

Inspired by my years as a rower, continually walking around in damp socks from walking on the dock before we got our shoes back. (For those who don't know, the shells have shoes bolted into them, so you have to take your shoes off when you get in)

Unfolder.

I'm sitting here trying to pull thousands of files that are hidden in sub-folders upon sub-folders all into one folder and it would be nice if there were some program that un-foldered everything into one spot.

The CD Slinger (TM)

A distant cousin of the this. A device that automatically loads your CD collection (if you have one) into your computer, and ejects it when it's done importing. The result: an all-digital music library, without lifting a finger.

The Golden Sperm

A children's story about sex.

Sleep headphones

They'd play music on a timer until you want to fall asleep (or better yet, reads your heart rate and turns off once you're asleep) and then also has an alarm so you can fall asleep with headphones on but still hear your alarm in the morning.

"He's going to kill himself...

if he doesn't kill himself first!" A slapstick comedy about a man trying to fake his own death.

Movies on TV

When searching through the movies playing on digital cable, it should tell you every time that week the movie is playing. I might want to watch Berry Gordy's The Last Dragon now if I know that the only other time it is playing is 3am on Wednesday. I know you can see the TV schedule on a movie's IMDb page, but it would be easier if you could see it on the digital cable guide.

Barber patrol

A website, a la Angie's List, that specifically reviews barber shops in certain cities. Users could submit before/after photos, written reviews, and ratings on a scale from "Billy Bob" to "Cher."

Aerobics, performed by pirates

No logical basis for this to exist. I just keep thinking about it, and wishing that it did.

iChat Away Messages

When I hover over a buddy's away message to read it, sometimes I can't read the whole thing at once because the message is too long and the text box disappears after a few seconds. They should make it so the box doesn't disappear until after I move the mouse.

And would it kill them to put clickable links in away messages?
