   In addition, there is an enoumous amount of products/applications that Google couldn't do because it would conflict with the way they make money, for example if Google started a super-market chain, they would be treading on a lot of their o

   I was asked the "What if Google does it?" question a few times at Seedcamp by some investors - I agree with the previous comment - the question is kinda dumb, but 'seems' reasonable when used with "Google". If I were building some new socia

   Point taken! Ok, ideas definately can be bad! However I'm pretty sure the idea of ethnic cleansing and mass murder was conceived quite a lot earlier than the second world war...

   Great post - but I kinda disagree that an idea can be bad. A system that pauses music when you remove headphones would solve a problem, thus it's a good idea - it's just a small issue of the implementation. Probably most of those 1000 ideas

    Interesting, when I built http://cQuery.com (Content Query Engine), I investigated a number of options html parsing and content extraction options. I had played with Rhino and John Resigs env.js ( http://ejohn.org/blog/bringing-the-browse

    Show off on Hacker News? On that theme does anybody know what the maximum limit of money is before your bank account crashes? (or you have to start buying hotels instead of houses)? :-)

    Interesting - Actually, I built Femtoo.com which can be used for a similar purpose! But I have JUST posted this article about my content extraction web service cQuery.com: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1574214 small world!

    cQuery is an API based service. The examples are definately working! :-) If you goto http://cquery.com/examples/ and click the 'Latest John Resig blog post' link, you will see an empty page with the text "Spring 2010 jQuery Talks" (it may

    Absolutely - people could create a 'named' suite of test/pings via a web interface, then trigger that named test or suite of tests via the API: pingbrigade.com/api/run/?userKey=XXX&suite=foo ...I would look for a business case before in

    Nice - I suppose one feature would be to implement a RESTFUL api that returns JSON or XML results so it could be used programatically - sys admins could write cron jobs to test their servers etc... or it could be integrated into a software

    (oh, the name cQuery is inspired by 'jQuery' because cQuery uses some jQuery selector syntax expressions - and the 'c' stands for 'content' - thus: "content query")
