Cell Phone Home Security Printer Friendly Version
Create a cell phone-based home security system. The system would include small, wireless video cameras hidden around a person's home, and a receiver (with a built-in telephone) that would continuously monitor the cameras. A person with a camera-type cell phone could call their receiver and monitor what the cameras were viewing. You could keep an eye on your property from anywhere, and call the police if you see someone breaking into your home. Of course, this idea requires the development of cell phone infrastructure technology capable of transmitting real-time video.
Reward: A free cell phone home security system/service. Also, the satisfaction of having helped lower the crime rate.

Acceleration Light Printer Friendly Version
When you are stuck in traffic, brake lights on the car in front of you only tell half of the story.
How often have you accelerated to catch up with the car in front of you only to have to slam on brakes because the car in front of you was not accelerating but getting ready to brake. whew! close call.
Well, if you are paying attention, there shouldn't need to be a reason for close calls.
This simple innovation of just adding a "green" colored light on the back of cars to indicate when the car was accelerating would let traffic flow more like a train. There would be less congestion and less accidents. Everyone could essentially accelerate, coast, and brake simultaneously which would basically eliminate the traffic phenomenon, "shockwave".
Implementing the idea into production now would mean only some cars would have this light. NO problem. That just means you have to be extra careful around cars without the light just like you are now.
Reward: some time of recognition (like a plaque)for my idea from the person that actually gets this patented, for service to mankind and safety.

European-Iranian Trading Company (EITC) Printer Friendly Version
Earlier this year, the US have imposed sanctions on Iran and are now blackmailing the rest of the world to follow suit. In particular, private companies are given the choice to either cease business with Iran (small market) or face sanctions by the US (big market) as well.
The EU have said they want to encourage companies to continue doing business with Iran, but with the US applying "divide and conquer" politics and putting pressure on individual companies, that seems little more than lip service.
To solve the problem, the EU would have to set up a European-Iranian Trading Company (EITC). Instead of doing business with Iran directly, companies could simply trade with the EITC (run by the EU), and the EITC would then do the actual trade with Iran. Since the sole purpose of the EITC would be to relay business between the Iran and other businesses, the US could boycott it all they want.
Of course, the US could boycott the EU for running the EITC, but that would be much harder and escalate the issue to a political level (which is where it belongs).
