>Corollary: The less talented the founders of a company are, the more they should focus on things that are not fun or prestigious. Would it be a good idea for a founder to focus on boring/lame things anyway, if only as a way to improve his/her odds? Which viable ideas strike you as the most boring?

Of the ones I included in that recent list http://ycombinator.com/ideas.html http://ycombinator.com/ideas.html the most boring is probably 5 (enterprise 2.0), preferably in the form of 7 (something your company needs that doesn't exist). 21 (finance software) and 29 (site builders) are also promisingly boring.
