more seriously though, time is as much a part of good ideas as any other component. Google glass is probably a good idea, but also ahead of its time. Even if every other part of the execution is perfect, people need to be ready to accept it.

This isn't exactly a new phenomenon -- bad ideas are sometimes only bad because of the environment that is limiting their potential (but sometimes a bad idea is just a bad idea, because some environmental factors are unlikely to change).

I certainly hope so since the startup I work for[1] does same day delivery of food (and has been doing so for years now), and so far we're doing it without bubble-esque levels of investment.
