Thoughts
| Name | Idea | Application |
| Massively Multiplayer Research | Like SETI did with the PC, allowing people to 'donate' computer analysis of records, make an app where research data could be collected by amateurs and uploaded for analysis, sort of turning the SETI model on it's head. | With the right (tweaked) picture recognition software you could collect everythin fro the price of gas to family photo's with matching family history descriptions. | | Strawberry Milk | Mix 4 Tbs strawberry yogurt with 16 oz milk and a goodly dash of French Vanilla coffee creamer to make something yummy. | I've been making a lot of this recently, it's good and may be marginally more healthy than the powdered drink mix. | | Search by Similarity | Do a google search for a noun and get a drill down list of all the items that are in the same category as the noun. | Doing a search for potato salad would return, among other things, macaroni salad. |
