Watching Ocean's 11 last night it occurred to me that other contexts in which intelligent multi-camera stitching might be profitable are casino security and retail loss prevention.

I had been thinking about something like this, but in the context of recreating riot crime scenes. After the last riot in Toronto the police received over 1M stills and thousands of hours of relatively low quality cell phone video. The mai

I don't know how you intend to do your data analysis, but... I have had an idea for a smartphone app on my Big List for years. This app would implement lag-sequential analysis (see for example http://www2.gsu.edu/~psyrab/references.pdf ).

From a few years of testing and several hundred mainstream users I would add to this: 4 seconds -- the trusted progress period: the approximate amount of time you are allowed after the user clicks on something, after which some users begins

Great idea! Are you expecting the forum to be used for references to the next best alternatives that are available in Canada? That's what immediately comes to mind. But then I wonder if those topics would quickly scroll off the list.

I believe Microsoft was a Delaware corporation for many years -- at least for several years that I worked there in the '90s. I don't know why they changed.

If I understand your model correctly, the word you are looking for may be a derivative of "developing" or it may be something like "building." You may also benefit from using some qualifiers in your descriptions. Example: "1) Proposal / C

Suggestions for the US version: 1) Move the banner up ~ 5 pixels 2) Make the banners auto-rotate on a slow timer (15s?) 3) Add alt-text to the banners to make them more accessible 4) Move the Select Category drop-down to the right of the Se

In the early '90s when I was a usability specialist at Microsoft I did a laborious usability study (hired several temps to enter text using various methods for hours per day, over multiple days) comparing pen input vs. OSKs and got some cou

This was a result of a Republican amendment to the Clinton-administration increase in the federal minimum wage (around 1992 - 1995. Subtitled "A bill to increase the take-home pay of workers..." or something like that, if I recall correctly

Black-on-dark-grey is a bad combination for aesthetics and accessibility. Speaking of accessibility, blind people are big users of cabs. So that might be another market to focus on.

I'll dig deeper into your UI in a minute, but have a usage scenario for you to consider. Suppose this thing catches on in the Las Vegas tourists context I mentioned earlier. There might be multiple people queuing up with the same origin an

Speaking of use at conferences, I have wished for something like this while standing in line (with hundreds of other people) waiting for a cab at Las Vegas airport. Too frequently they have under-loaded cabs going to the same hotels only m

Tips for minimizing the food budget: - Cut your meat intake in half or lower. It's expensive, and you'll feel better. Avoid red meat in general, as it is most expensive. Eggs are the cheapest protein. Tuna is probably second. - Generally s

FYI: (a little outdated) http://www.w3.org/TR/turingtest/ Anne Taylor at NFB.org in Baltimore can suggest an accessible one. I'm afraid I don't know which is considered best right now. If you have something really new I'd love to get a l

+1 for great execution. Nice visuals. Did you do them yourself? If not, a reference would be great. +1 for needing pricing details upfront. I'll suggest $.10/call or SMS but I might pay up to $.50 for my application. I could be using this

It looks like they aren't accessible to blind or low-vision people, so I'm going to discourage you from using them in any case. I might add color-blind too for some of them. Clever, but inaccessible.

If you intend to pick one among the applicants/replies below (as the other kind contributor is doing), I suggest you make that clear up front. Your post makes me think that perhaps you're casting a wider net, though I'm sure no one would o

Do you have an algorithm for this, or an app idea? Some folks at the MIT Media Lab worked on this concept in the early 90s. See for example http://web.media.mit.edu/~lieber/Lieberary/Letizia/AIA/AIA.h... . I mention it only because it m

I'm definitely open to sharing code. I also have friends in the UK who have deep experience in this area and can give advice on setting up a non-profit over there.

IT for the Blind. (non-profit) Basically like Kickstarter, but applicants will be asking for (pooled) funding for always-too-expensive technology that helps overcome vision problems. Check out Humanware.com for example of this kind of gear

Have you seen launchrock.com? It might help with growing your list. On you question, I suggest monthly updates until you have something live. But if you post your list ("ton of things") of ideas, we could comment on them specifically. By t

Consider this a WAG because I don't know any of the people involved. I assume that in the VCs world there are winners (high multiple return) and losers (not a high multiple return). While you may have attained profitability, in his mind you

When I try "furniture placement" on images.google.com I get a wide variety of levels of drawing fidelity, so I don't think I can recommend any particular one.
