   I am looking for someone to help me build a web app. I think it may be possible to do by building or extending a module for Drupal. If you are interested I would share my concept and you can see if it is appealing to you. This way you ca

    I'm in the same boat. I am in Product Management and fairly technically oriented, but I wouldn't call myself a real programmer. Since I have not found people of like mind I have tried to learn enough to try to do something on my own. But

    I want to build a better set top box because everything I have seen is either tied to some service (apple, tivo, netflix), is not polished enough for mass market (too many features in Linux MCE), or is too expensive > $500. But alas I h

    I am in the same boat as far as being technical goes.(although I have some programming background). One of my ideas is to create a better networking application. By that I mean a better version of linked-In (which I think is a total waste

    I am in the same boat. This year I will turn 35 and have not yet started anything. I think fear has something to do with it and the other is finding the technical talent to help bring ideas to fruition. I am pretty sure that having had w

    Yeah, I know this is an issue I need to consider. I have also thought of the whole led based paint debacle which surfaced last year since my idea is for a toy.

    I am planning on prototyping first even though that may not have been clear. There is a show in the US called American inventor which sounds similar to Dragon's Den (it probably is the same thing adapted for the US, like American Idol). I h

    I didn't realize that someone had commented on this since it never made it to the RSS feed. I have many ideas, most recently the ones I have are: 1) a new version of a retro toy 2) an extension to salesforce.com (an appExchange app) 3) a b

    I agree 100%. I have had several ideas and some people even like them, but in the end I have not been able to find others who share my passion. I am not a developer, but I have some development background and I am a tech geek so I follow
