In addition to Caps Lock, have Symbol Lock. When coding, at least in my experience, there is far more use of the symbols above the numbers than the numbers themselves. In Linux, I can custom map the keyboard so it defaults to the symbols. Simple having an extra key on the keyboard for this function would be way easier than switching between keyboard maps.

Group Author
People write screenplays in teams, why not a book over a weekend?
Have an event where participants get to pitch a story idea. After, everyone can vote on a couple of them to narrow them down. Then people can join up in teams with the ideas that were voted on. Over the next day or two, they can collaborate to write the story. At the end, a winner can be chosen.

Bitcoin Theft Tracking
Because all Bitcoin transactions, including theft, are traceable. It is possible for law enforcement to track them as stolen property. As such, cryptocurrencies like bitcoin that have a black market history may continue to be passed about through transactions, but eventually, once they make their way to an exchange or something else that makes them locatable, they may be seized. Meaning, you might have received bitcoins in a perfectly legal transaction that are still marked from a history you are not aware of.
We propose a validation system before a transaction takes place in which the currency to be sent can be flagged as being as having an illegal history that may subject them to seizure.

Local Drag Racing Timer
Local drag racing competitions work on the driver’s ability coming closest to their qualifying time without going over. If the driver had a live display of their current time against their qualifying time, they could maintain a proper speed. It could be color based. Something like the driver needs to keep the car in a ‘yellow’ category.

No more having your umbrella blow away at the beach. With the screw pole, instead of driving it into the ground, you turn the crank and screw it into the ground for a solid hold.

Cologne Dissipation Rate
Cologne is notorious. Too much and you repel. Too little, or none at all, and you are merely average. Perfect, and you are… perfect. Sadly, even the best cologne wears off. If you really, you risk overdosing. If you do nothing, midway through the work day, you have nothing.
I propose the cologne strip. It could be wearable or sticker. It dissipates consistently over some hours. Additionally, by dissipating at a predetermined rate, a gentleman does not have to worry about over or under applying. Our expert’s design the perfect dissipation speed and design it specifically to your clothes and location. A gentleman in a suit needs a different dissipation rate than when wearing a t-shirt and jeans.

Perfect 360° Sphere Phone Photos
I find that taking a 360° photo is difficult because one cannot easily rotate the phone on a perfect axis. However, the quality of the images, at least on my Google Pixel XL is outstanding. Even if there is a handheld device that works with levels to keep guide me to keep the phone in the perfect position that I can see from all sides, not just the screen side.

Clear Vapor E-Cigarette
Perhaps having no visible vapor from an e-cigarette would circumvent no smoking rules. With no visible vapor I am not sure if many people would even notice. I do not know if the vapor that is exhaled is unhealthy. It might be that people associate it with smoke and simply do not like it for that reason. If it was clear and even odorless it might be a none issue.

Ctrl-F on your PHONE
Here is a idea. Why on earth in 10 years sense the first introduction of smart phones, is there still no way to search for a particular word in a webpage on your mobile phone.
Ctrl-F has been a normal function for finding specific words for decades on computers. But why is this not a standard feature on the smart phones of today. Have you ever had a webpage on your phone that you wanted to pinpoint via a particular word in the webpage? I have. -
Fabric Phone Visor
Using my phone at the beach is hell. I already want to cover my beautiful face when laying out to avoid wrinkles. Plus, I want to use my phone because laying out is boring as hell. I generally throw my shirt over my phone and hold it above me so I can see it and keep the sun out of my eyes.
I think if a piece of cloth is cut specific with this in purpose in mind, it will hang better and cause less hassle. The shirt hangs badly all around.
A problem that I don’t know how to address is my arms getting tired holding up the phone. If this could also be solved this product would be killer.
Long-term, if this took off, I am not sure if a brand strategy would be centered around products for phones, beach or random infomercial crap.
Does anyone have an idea on how to address the issue of tired arms? Also, what are some complimentary products to this idea?
Lastly, has anyone else had this problem or am I the only one?
Thanks.

Highlighter Scanner
When you highlight something in a book, it’s because you need to study it. These are the same items that one might then use to create a study guide.
The highlighter can scan the text highlighted and automatically add it to a document to copy, paste, or edit.
I am not sure if this is something that could grow into a brand or if it is a one-off product for the infomercial world.

Block Specific Picture
I hate when ads on sites like yahoo show nasty pictures. I want a plugin that lets me pick a picture, then never see it again.
Google can search images by images. Does Google have an image API that can match pictures with a click? From there, written code can block the css layer that displays the picture

Web Controlled Robot Fights
You can have a robot battle. Robots can be controlled online. So you can have real robot fights from your computer.
You could mail your bots to the competition but control them locally. An entry fee could even include on-site tech support to fix stuff on your behalf. This allows international competitions without travel costs.
Maybe live tweet the battle.

Demo Derby Drones
My idea is a demolition derby but using flying drones. Literally, they just crash into each other and the last one flying wins.
Any number can start. Like a traditional demo derby, half of the drones can start on one side and half on the other.
This can have separate divisions with different cost controls, sizes, and speeds. Also, there should be a division with a single, inexpensive type of drone so that anyone with a few hundred dollars can participate in at least one division.

Pony Express Ride Share
A ride share or messenger service that uses more than one driver to transport stuff. One driver can take you from Charlotte to Spartanburg. Then person or item gets in next car which takes them on to Atlanta.
This can be a more affordable way for a person to travel on short notice as plane tickets are expensive when not purchased ahead of time.

Add Eyes to Existing Robots
Simple, add eyes to robots. There is a vast market of automation already in use, which is upsetting and impersonal. Simply providing something the size of an iPad with eyes that move with the bot will add a personality and might make the impression of automating jobs less harmful. Big companies spend tons of money on crap that corporate psychologists recommend. Find a corporate psychologist that recommends it and sell a thousand tablets with motion sensors and moving eyes.
Just eyes can take a bot from being a job killer to being cute. Happy eyes!
