3D

If 3D movies are here to stay and 3D glasses are still required, it's time for Ray Ban or Foster Grant or somebody -- anybody -- to step in and make moviegoers look less foolish. Or perhaps equally foolish but more stylish.

3D glasses in designer frames. A shot in the arm for self-conscious movie fans. An amazing invention for people who can't bear the idea of wearing glasses somebody else just wore. Arguable environmental benefit. Pretty much a Million Dollar Idea.

Oh, Sherrie

Dear Gnarls Barkley,

Please record and release a Barklified remake of the Steve Perry classic "Oh Sherrie" as soon as possible. Dennis says you're welcome and I say thank you.

That's a million dollar idea I'd enjoy over and over and over.

Thanks in advance,

Amy

I just want the credit

Check, Please.

It's a credit-card swiper mounted right at the restaurant table. I don't suggest it for your Michelin rated restaurants, but for family or business focused spots it makes perfect sense. To make it less offensive to waitstaff (important), it would be rigged to automatically ring up an 18% gratuity. Sure, the customer could override that, but I wouldn't want that to be its easiest feature. Let's not celebrate cheapness. When the diner has finished and makes a Check, Please request, the waitstaff would receive a page to notify them that Table X is getting ready to go. This way you can go over to say thanks, clear the table, what have you.

Faster turnover is hot for restauranteurs, getting out quick is a dream for the "busy."

I'm not going to lie -- it's pretty much the best idea ever.

Check, Please. You read it here first. My idea.
