Ever have one of those moments where you thought "wouldn't it be cool if someone made/built/offered X?" bgC3 is where Bill Gates can do a brain dump of all his ideas and have some smart people try and make them.
- abstractbill 18y agoHas this ever worked? I'm not being facetious - I just can't think of any good examples where one "idea person" has dumped ideas on a bunch of smart people and good things have come out of it.

- davidw 18y agoI'd be curious to hear how things are developed at Apple. For instance, is Jobs an idea guy or more of a gatekeeper ("this sucks, do it better")?
