Amend bluetooth on phones so it can tell the direction of phones around it.
Then create a 'Singles' app that will allow other people with the app to see that your single and request your phone number.
The request would contain their picture so you can see who it was, you can choose to ignore or accept.
Use 1 or multiple high pressure air or gas actuated plugs designed for water pipe leaks or tunnel collapse support that are designed to withstand the oil and water pressure greater than present and designed to fit into 22"pipe. Use a high pressure gas for deployment, similar to or like the concept in airbags. Robotically insert the plug deep into the pipe and use a remote and/or robotic activation device to deploy the plug thereby stopping the leak long enough to fill it with ready prepared solids and until relief wells were complete.
I'm a mechanical Engineer,...and this may be a way to stop the leak and use the actual oil pressure to seal it. A long sleeve with a pressure relief valve in the center, is inserted into the pipe. The pressure relief valve it open at first, allowing the oil to pass while the device is inserted. The device has teeth facing the reverse direction of the pressure. It also has several o-rings. Once in, the valve is closed,the cylinder expands outward against the pipe using the oil pressure itself. When the pressure tries to push the device out, the teeth automatically dig into the inner bore of the pipe and prevent its being pushed out. The o-rings are also pressed against the inner diameter by the pressure, sealing off the leak
They need to make a tapered tip pipe about 8 ft long with a series of cut outs inside the pipe would have a series of rubber bladders with one way check valves. the robot could grip the rod and insert in the leaking pipe and the the rod has compressed air put it the the bladder inflates sealing against the wall. the check valve keeps air from leaking . The series of bladders spaced apart will aid as a series balloon blockages.
I am a physician and the idea I propose has worked in arterial bleeding (which may be similar to high pressure oil leaks). A catheter with an inflatable cuff is advanced against the flow into the lumen of the leaking vessel (in this case, a pipeline). Once advanced downstream the inflatable balloon is inflated reducing or perhaps stopping the flow entirely. For an oil leak of this magnitude, the catheter would need to be a rigid pipeline itself with a diameter significantly smaller than the leaking pipe. It would also need to be a significant length. In medicine, we use these catheters for angioplasty and use a similar catheter called a "Fogarty" catheter for arterial clots.
There should be a singular portal for students to visit where they can get all the information about the options open to them to study further.
The portal could gain information directly from educationally bodies and allow students to use one form to gain all the information and enrol if they want to.
Here's an idea so crazy it might work: a solar plant
on the Moon. Specifically, a 6,800 mile long solar belt that spans the
Moon's equator and sends energy back to Earth with lasers and microwave
power. Japanese firm Shimizu is calling their lunar solar power generation concept the Luna Ring
and it's brilliantly ambitious. The way the Luna Ring works is by
gathering solar energy with a 6,800 mile long solar belt across the
Moon's equator that'll be transmitted to Moon-based energy conversion
facilities. The converted power will then be beamed to Earth-based
facilities with laser power and microwave power. Once on Earth, we'll
be able turn all that power into electric power for our power grids or
hydrogen fuel.
Robots will handle the lunar-side construction with most building
materials coming from the moon. The benefit of having solar panels on
the Moon is that it eliminates inefficiency due to bad weather and
allows it to achieve 24/7 continuous power generation. Oh, and the fact
that we'll have a freaking power plant on the Moon sending lasers at
the Earth isn't anything to sneeze at either.
If this Luna Ring ever gets built it'll join a growing number of robot Moon bases in the works. Which will obviously lead to Robot Revolution with all the robots banding together and hijacking the Moon—stealing all our power in the process

Create a website where people can come up with video game ideas.
I have a great idea for Gran Turismo 5. In the online lobby with friends, have the ability for total shuffle where at the touch of a button a random track with random settings is picked and everybody has a random car.
Make some of the licence challenges and special events easier / more forgiving when bumping other cars or going off the track.
Maybe give a limit to amount of bumps / times you can leave the track or by severity of incident.
I have a great idea for LittleBigPlanet 2, have the option for shuffle for online levels. When you go to 'cool levels' you can hit a shuffle button and a random high rated level will be picked and will keep being picked until you have had enough. This means you can just enjoy the great levels instead of browsing through lists.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3 based on the Beta. Allow for custom squads to be made and/or make it so you can only hear your friends in the voice chat. It is very annoying to hear other people in the squad when you just want to hear your friends.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3. Although the infiltrator is like the old assault class in Killzone 2 I would still like their to be a dedicated assault class.
The class could have no special abilities and instead have more health and carry more heavy duty weapons such as a grenade launcher (proper one), dual pistols or even a mini-gun.
In 2001 Robert Atkinson, the president of the University of California, proposed the school's admissions discontinue its SAT requirement. He argued that the test is old-fashioned, that it does not measure appropriate skills given the requirements of No Child Left Behind. Another popular argument is that the SAT gives richer parents a chance to put their kids through a grinding tutorial process that inherently puts them at an advantage over students without the means. As this article points out, "when Muhlenberg College in Pennsylvania and Bates College in Maine stopped requiring the SAT, minority applications doubled."
Use Bigady in the classroom by using a specific tag such as ossf11, this way students can rate ideas and also created feeds using the Bigady rss feed generator. This will allow for a good classroom tool and could even be expanded to conduct a class survey.
I have a great idea for a website but I don't have all the skills to make it happen, so I am submitted it here in the hope someone will create it. Create a virtual creature/organism/android/entity on a webpage that you have to nurture. To do this you need to send it web traffic whether it be your friends on Facebook or people on Twitter or any website. The creature will grow and develop based on what traffic you feed it and once it has reached a certain level you can interact with your closest neighbours maybe they can play maybe they fight - like Pokémon but cooler and it could even have an Android app so you can keep tabs on how your create is developing. Please leave all thoughts and questions.
I have a great idea for Heavenly Sword, make Heavenly Sword 2 please Ninja Theory - the first one was awesome but Enslaved was rubbish.
The realm of HS was well done and fleshed out universe, play to this and make a bigger and better game!
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, when using the Tactican ability you can scan for enemies. If a bad guy is above or below you, you generally won't see him. As well as the blue crosshairs the scan should also show arrows to point the direction of nearby enemies.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, it should have custom games and one option should relate to spawn points.
You should be able to set wheter spawn grenades are active, wheter tactial spawn points are available and wheter all classes can take spawn points.
The WASP launcher is really annoying in MP when the other team just sit on it.
It should either have an ammo limit, long recharge time or it should have a laser spot as to where the rockets will land be they do...!
Often when browsing the Android store I will stumble across apps that I know my friends would like or fine useful.
I would like the option to me able to send this link to my Google phone barring friends so they can see recommendations I have sent them.
Create an FPS game that takes the mickey out of every other
FPS out there for example:
In multiplayer perks could be:
lag: you jump around the screen like you are lagging
no collision: allows you to walk through walls
graphics fail: causes the other team to see no textures
point blank survival: if you are shot at point blank and only point
blank you survive
If a player camps then a visual tent starts appearing around them.
The campaign can also be an over-the-top macho fest, with a linear yet
absurd storyline about aliens and the fight for human kind.
Weapons could include the chainsaw launcher, teabag shotgun and pwnage
machine gun that has a one shot kill with a 500 round clip.
Vehicles could include dinosaurs with lasers and a piggy back ride on Chuck Norris.
Joe Danger should be given free to every PSN user as Compensation, because its awesome.
As way iof compensation i feel sony should give us a free copy of 'hacker' and 'the matrix' and 'swordfish' as an HD download.
Often there are only ever 3 concurrent devices online in any home.
Browser can preload links at the client level, but this often results in a slowdown to the user and increased CPU load.
I believe home routers should be more advanced, so when pages are loaded the router pre-loads links related. So that when for instance a Google search result page loads the router begins preloading all of the resulting pages, or when a user is on a website the router begins to pre-load other pages on the website.
If done right, the user should get a faster more stream-lined experience.
I have a great idea for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance, in the slums mission make the sound work its really annoying!
I have a great idea for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. It really easy to trick a boss to getting stuck behind a table or between a doorway.
The AI should be changed so they can perform simple navigation to prevent these problems.
I have a great idea for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. In shooter you sometimes get the option to automatically shoot. In DHA you should have the open for your character to automatically use a potion when his health is low - if this takes too much away from the stratergy of the game then it should be a passive ability.
I have a great idea for Dungeon Hunter: Alliance. Sometimes you want to just go back to a town and you have to go through one portal then another. It would be good if you could go straight back to a town for example -> throne room -> gothicus gate -> skyburg
Also the loading times seem long, could the levels not stream?
I have a great idea for Infamous 2 .What would make this game more awesome would be some sort of split screen play on online play. Split screen could be competitive, evil Cole versus good Cole or maybe one person controls Cole and the other controls all of the bad guys. The same principals could make up online play.
Please add some move support for PlayTV, maybe a Twitter app and PlayStation Home.
Sometimes it would be nice to be able to allow friends to view the game I am playing or to view what they are playing.
Just like video chat, I think you should be able to create a room 'theatre' mode for example.
This would allow other PSN users to watch what you are doing on your PS3, it wouldn't need to be live and could instead could be screen shots every few seconds, but it would allow friends to easily see what type of game you are playing and could be used in interesting ways.
It would be nice to be able to submit an idea via Blog.Share by simply sending a message to a specific address.
This would allow you to quickly send a message while playing a game...also if you are playing a game it could some how allow you to tag in the game automatically.

I think we should give all monkeys tins of custard so they can have it with bananas, we may need need to supply them with can openers and also teach them how to use can openers.
Outdated copyright, libel and censorship laws threaten a free , fair
and safe internet. This issue also involves protecting/funding quality
and balance in media/arts.
Drastic changes to copyright, libel and censorship laws needed to maintain democracy in the internet age!
The internet user protection directive.
THE ISSUE: The copyright, censorship and libel laws throughout the
European Union were devised before the internet, and indeed from before
recorded media. In order to protect freedom, privacy and intellectual
property the very concepts have to be redefined. This problem has
caused the following effects:
a) Due to the internets non-geographical nature, libel and other
types of defamation legislation whether criminal or civil become almost
randomly defined. Not just on the jurisdiction either- similar
variation exists from court to court, as to the sentencing which can
often vary from community service to a hefty jail sentence for the same offence
Libel is interesting because it concerns both privacy and freedom of
information issues. On one hand, it is very important to protect the
right of a person or group to not have their social lives, reputations
or careers harmed by false or misleading stories.
On the other hand, we have the right to know of any misdemeanours
concerning public figures, powerful figures or enterprises that we
might be dealing with. And surely we dont want children (or young
minded adults) barred from talking about the latest playground rumour
about their favourite celebrities. Of course, this has huge
implications for the culture of Satire which lightens heavy
topics, as well as providing the entertainment that we have enjoyed
since Shakespeare and before. Do we want a world where truth is defined
by having the most expensive lawers?
This suggests that the only alternative to draconian censorship or
outright anarchy is a targeted enforcement of defamation legislation.
Such a move would involve limiting all forms of defamation prosecutions
and lawsuits to cases where profit, gain or malice could be reasonably
proven. As well as targeting the police and courtroom costs,
essentially a finite resource, this brings the definition of free
speech to the general public consensus. That is, it is acceptable to
use all forms of free speech, without knowingly harming others with
ones words.
b) Due again to the multi-jurisdictional nature of the internet, and
the lack of co-operation between government authorities and rival
software manufacturers, there is no coherent approach to the issue of
properly censoring potentially offensive material on the internet.
Fruitless effort is poured in to shutting down illegal or ethically questionableâ websites, FTP sites and chatrooms. What is
more important, and more achievable is preventing children and the
easily offended from accessing this material by accident or curiosity.
As internet content is less rigidly controlled than the film, print or
music industry, state censorship would be unworkable. However requiring
all content creators to self rate their material on the same
grounds as a DVD , could be achieved. Failure to rate correctly could
be made a criminal offence. Software could be designed with a
standardised content-rating system which would allow safer family
enjoyment and warning properly displayed if the content was of a nature
that could easily offend.
c) The enforcement and management of copyright law is impractical under
current legislation. Digital media makes copying and converting media a
matter of mouse clicks. All forms of a digital rights management
systems are crackable- almost all of the worlds governments
strictly forbid the commercial use of such sophisticated cipher
technology on national security grounds. Also, to severely restrict the
right of distribution of multimedia products is a violation of the
rights of independent media producers who wish to use the internet as a
showcase for there talent,. Perhaps even more importantly, make the
films and records that Hollywood don’t want you to watch or hear.
This amounts to a violation of the basic rights of free expression.
Producers of multimedia content of any kind need to be remunerated for
their efforts. It is not a cheap or time-free affair to produce music,
books or films even as a hobby. The people who make the TV and movies
we enjoy are morally entitled to a fair degree of contribution toward
financing their art from their audience.
There are two ways of improving the situation. Firstly, there needs to
be the replacement of copy protection to copyright watermarking.
Any uploads to the internet of copyright material would have to be
digitally watermarked with a copyright license. This would allow
media producers to tract their digital assets across the
internet. Any enterprise attempting to extract profit or gain out of
copyrighted work would be obliged to pay a reasonable surcharge.
However, copyright holders should only have the access to details of
private domestic internet account holders in the event of uploads of
copyright material. This is because it is impossible for a user to
distinguish legal from illegal download sites and servers. Nor until
the completion of the download is it possible to accurately determine
whether the material is copyright and which licence it is subject to.
It needs to be an offence to upload copyrighted material until one year
old onto the internet unless authorised to do so by the copyright
holder. One year because of the pace at which the online community
moves. Conventional copyright rules involves terms of between fifty and
one hundred years. This is impractical due to the nature of the sheer
volume of material available on line. It is most important to protect
the livelihoods of those currently active in the industry, as this
represents the media industry’s future. Other than that condition,
like libel, copyright enforcements against domestic internet users
should be considered only in cases of profit, gain or malice. Again,
this is not a case so much of a liberal approach, but a practically and
fairly enforceable one.
The issue of filesharing could be handled via a surcharge per gigabyte
of copyrighted, unlicenced media download, with a clearing house system
estimating from the details provided by watermarking and
reimbursing the copyright royalties to the appropriate holder. The ISP
would be surcharged by the copyright authorities as opposed to the end
user to protect privacy. This would allow the end user to choose an ISP
package that reflects their downloading habits. Those who download or
share copyright material would need to be on a higher tariff than those
who do not to cover the surcharge costs.
I propose a special tax on companies that generate spam email. It could
go something like this: Companies, or individuals that send out mass
emails are taxed 1 cent for every mailing they put out. This would not
include emails that are legitimate; a large company sends out emails to
"subscribers", or people who knowingly signed up to get thier
newsletters, or "notices".
This tax would only include mass,
random emails. I think that this might eliminate some needless spam,
but even if it does not, more tax money will be generated, so as to cut
down on other taxes that we have to pay.
Also, this would require companies to submit forms to the government to
get "permission" to send out mass spam. Instead of simply trying to rid
the internet of spam, much like we did with those annoying "spam" phone
calls, we could raise much needed funds.
Lost had the worst ending ever, turns out they were dead all along.
I want a refund on the 6 seasons worth of time I wasted watching was now essential nothing!
Some company should invent a sandbox game where the World is created on-the-fly and saved to the Hard disk, similar to this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NzXS1R3VxJg&feature=related
Once a certain point is reached the World would wrap. This would allow for really massive levels different anytime and could lead to a whole personal universe made out of different Worlds.
Why not go back to good (part of the) pipe and flatten it . Flattening the pipe would shut off the flow of oil.
I believe an inflatable bladder could stop or if nothing else significantly contain this leak. The principle is similar to the inflatable tool used to open and clean out a human artery. In this case it would have to be much larger and thicker to withstand the pressure. If oxygen is a problem at that depth then Nitrogen could be an alternative for inflation.
Stop the oil leak by submerging an underwater sieve with vacuum. This sieve would suck up everything from the leak, and because oil floats above water a device could be used to skim the oil and transfer it to the surface where it can be loaded on to tankers.
drop a huge steel beam on top of it... heck make an underwater building while your at it.
All guns should have a built in 'black box' that logs every time it is fired and where using GPS. This way a log is created to help fight crime.
The idea in a few short sentence:
Building a webpage full of small car racing games,
Every game is a commercial to a different company.
Inspiration: The million dollar homepage selling pixels for dollars.
Buisness plan: Make one template game and use it for all
the small race games. Sell racing games with a company logo or
a product illustration as the race track.
How the web site will be build?
We will use the flexibility and the lower cost of the
Macromedia Flash technology to build a low cost but good quality games.
The race track and the competitors will be flexible enough to
take any shape and size.
If you are interesting in my idea please send me an email to
ylando1@walla.com
Often geeks and scientists will invent
great ideas but because of lack of business know-how will often see
there ideas used by big companies who reap serious finical
benefit.
I propose a geek union, a way we can protect geeks
and there ideas so they get the money they deserve.
I have a great idea for Gran Turismo 5. In an A Spec event have the option to see in one list the cars you can buy to fit the criteria from all the dealerships.
I have a great idea for LittleBigPlanet 2. For those that really want to create amazing levels, DLC should be created that could include additional items, materials or pre-made characters but also DLC for more advanced editing tools or even for mouse and keyboard support!
I have a great idea for PixelJunk Shooter, in the new version they need to make sure there is a versus mode both offline and online - maybe even 4 player battles.
Also coop should be available online.
Ranking is fun and controversial, but when it comes to identifying the best schools, it's also crucial. Harold Levy says the Dept of Education should start ranking colleges and universities publicly to give parents and students a better guide than US News & World Report. And why not do the same for high schools, too? If we mandated a national standardized test, it would not only remove the pernicious incentives among states to lower the bar for students, but also it might allow the government to provide an fair ranking of elementary and high schools both within and across state lines to provide a clearer picture of which schools are rising up or falling behind.
Did YouTube, please do this: http://i.imgur.com/Zokfa.png
I have a great idea for Killzone 3. Allow squad chat, so if you join your friends in a squad you can choose to only hear and speak to them.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Weekly Honor Badges– why on Earth was this removed?
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Clan Messaging– it was a great way to keep in touch with clan mates.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Some form of customization for clan games.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The ability to schedule matches so we don’t get uneven matches.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Ability to assign Officers to organize new recruits, etc.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The deep stat tracking from K2, but with more– this is a sequel, so logically you should be tracking even more, not giving us a reduced list of tracked stats! This goes for both single player and multiplayer, single player doesn’t even have any stat tracking except for best times and deaths.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The replay mode from Killzone2.com! Again, it’s a sequel, so where is a fully 3D theater mode like we see in so many other games? Even if you can’t add it in, why not bring back the 2D replay mode from K2?It was allowed for studying clans, catching cheaters, why remove this?
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The ability to run while I look at the scoreboard. Why remove this after, you patched it in for Killzone 2? I don’t understand.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Custom Soundtrack– I want nothing more than to blast my tunes and play some Killzone 2, but again, a featured that is completely removed for the excuse that “it couldn’t fit onto the disc”? Or was it that they didn’t have enough time?
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Bring back custom games, it has to have more options! We can’t even party up with friends as much. Please Guerilla Games, give us more options like turning off grenades, pistols only, no rpgs, etc.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, he DLC weapons like boltgun and flamethrower. At least in custom games, I can understand balancing issues with these if classes could run with it.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The ability for Engineers to plant more than one Turret, or beef them up a bit.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The awesome User Interface from K2!
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The squad system, or at least the ability to see my friends’ status on the HUD.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, The ability to see where the medic is!
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, How about the "aura" of medics? Can we make that something they turn "on"? Because nobody seems to know about it, and it sounds dumb to stand beside a medic to instant-heal without seeing this "aura".
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Bring back the Sentry drones’ ability to stay around even after the player dies. Just like with C4. Except, C4 should disappear after you die.This way players could use their rockets for actually taking out the sentries instead of taking me out in Guerilla Warfare.
I have a great idea for Killzone 3, Sway for Snipers– I know it’s because the Move players don’t have sway and it is a balance for Dual Shock 3 users, but sniping feels a little too easy with no sway and one hit kills practically anywhere on the body.
Some one should invent either a dry wipe or magnetic writing pad you can fix to the lid of your laptop, this would allow you to leave notes like "back in 5 minutes" when your away from your laptop and you could just wipe it away afterwards.
XMB Themes should not only change the icons and background but also the separate icon sizes and layout.
This would allow designers to create themes that totally change the XMB such as making it a vertical layout or grid navigation.
A developer should invent a subscription based FPS, where you pay per month or per year.
This in turn will allow the developers to continually update the games engine, add news maps, modes and weapons. It would lead to a more fluid game, and could also lead to a bigger and bigger world being created for the game introducing story elements.
Movie Title: Spencer Plot Summary: A young boy's life is changed when he is put inside a group home after his parents death. Genre: Drama Tagline: Every child goes through pain, but where does it begin
The original is always the best. This game should be remade in HD for the ps3 as its simply awesome. The ability for online play would also be very well received.
Once PSN is back a way to get us back online would be to convert our gamer score into dollars and give us this to spend on the store :-)
As Compensation of PSN being offline we should all get cross game chat.
The PSN has been down for over a week, so how about a free PSN title each day for a week?
The PSN has been down for over a week. Pro-rata I want my money back for this week or some free PSN titles above what you normally get.
The PSN has been down for over a week so I think as way of compensation all users should get a 'I survived the PSN hack attack' T-Shirt for Playstation home.
A good way to comensate psn users would be to add new features when it comes back such as cross-game chat and trophies in home.
Ridge racer is a classic old school racer. A new version should be made that's super fast and in 3d.
Often I see "for sale" signs or "to let" signs in the street but I just want instant details about the place. These signs should have QR codes so that you can scan it with your phone and find the details instantly.
A new way of delivering information to a phone would be to have a barcode that streams information in binary form - this means you could point your phone at a video and the phone would capture the binary (or another method) to actually receive the information directly, say an app or other information.
It may not even need to be a video but it could be a GIF or even flash format.
It would be nice that on cars the brake lights were split into three segments, contained three different bulbs or increased in intensity depending on how hard someone is breaking.
So that if someone is lightly on the break the break lights will be quiet mild in brightness and the harder someone is braking the brighter the light to inform the people behind.
I have a great idea for Brink .You can't see to repair a bot or turret that is part damaged. You also can't damage a bot or turret be reapired, this should be changed as its frustrating.
I have a great idea for Infamous 2, sometimes when you are hanging on a ledge it would be good to be able to pull enemies down like Uncharted.
