iPhone Application

It'd have a huge catalogue of recipes for appetizers, main course, side dishes, dessert, etc. so that you can get everything you need at the grocery store on the way home from work instead of having to go home, look up recipes, and leave again.

Bonus points if users can add their own recipes to the catalogue.

Exit polls

Watching election coverage right now and they are talking about information they have received from exit polls, mostly related to demographics and how they voted for president. I want to know more about these people. I want the exit polls to reveal what people ate for lunch, what they listen to most on their iPod, what the last movie they saw was, or if they are dog or cat people.

A Site

like Twitter, except instead of having status updates, people put what they ate/are eating/are going to eat for lunch.

Soundproof rooms for rent

Originally I was thinking this idea could be for people who need a place where they don't have to worry about being loud so they could practice an instrument, play music as loud as they want, yell, or do some woodworking or whatever. But if the rooms are all soundproof, I guess it also doubles as a quiet area so if you need a place to study to get away from a loud apartment building or campus building, that would work too. Rooms could be rented at an hourly rate and cost will depend on the size of the room.

Ticket window movie ratings

After you watch a movie at the movie theater, you should be able to give it a score and/or write a quick one-sentence review at a kiosk (!) in the movie theater. The scores and quick reviews can be displayed along with the movie times on the board above the ticket window.

This would be helpful for the people who show up to the movie theater either with no idea what they want to see or if they are trying to decide between a few different movies and they haven't read the reviews online or in the paper.

For movie theaters, it could be a measurement aside from ticket sales to help determine how many screens and showtimes to devote to a movie. If there is a movie with a high rating but not many ticket sales, they might be more inclined to keep it but only for few showtimes.

For movie studios, it could help determine what type of films are popular in different cities or regions.

Study guides

For personality tests like the Myers-Briggs test. So you will know how to ace them and get the personality you desire.

A computer with blinders.

Even I think this is stupid but I keep thinking about it so it needs to come out. A laptop screen with, like, fold-outs that make for more screens. All my desktop icons can be in the right blinder, my AIM or iTunes in the left blinder, and that leaves the middle free for my multimedia. I could do a drawing, I guess. Panorama. I don't know. Shut up.

A Google thesaurus search.

So, like, when I look up 'green dookie,' Google will have an option where it looks up 'turd' and 'shit' and 'feces' as well as the designated moniker so that you're sure to find what you're looking for, despite how you word it.

yogurt flakes

just like mashed potato flakes but yogurt instead. 

No-Spill counter

A built-in patch for under your soap on your bathroom/kitchen counter that soaks up the water that spills when you reach for the soap and transfers the moisture back into the waste water.

Wireless picture transfer

Geez, it's annoying to have to plug in your camera every time you want to upload pictures. Why can't one do it via Bluetooth or something? If this already exists, at least I was able to vent about it. Aaaah, yesss...much better.

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!
