Waiting for ideas?

What do you really want to get a good idea? An apple falling on your head or just simple observations of things around you that make your thoughts 'click'! Going through an array of ideas that folks have used to really setup a business, I find that all that is needed is dedicated and passionate implementation of your ideas. I was surprised to find that people have made money out of making a new style of clothes hangers as well as new style of gift wrapping. In fact, there is a cool start-up called ASAP "Any Surprise Any Place" which specializes in giving surprises to your friends at any point of time, any place and in truly surprising ways.

Many a times such ideas are inspired by a personal need - here is a dad who invented a really innovative kind of hairbrush whose bristles vanish when they get tangled in the hair and re-appear in a short while to continue brushing the hair - have a look at http://www.orbitbrush.com.

What do really need is observation and a continual thinking of how to make things better/different/more useful.

What do you say of the idea of a boy who designed a window pane color using ultra-violet colors that is very visible to birds but not to humans? The result is that thousands of city birds save their lives by not crashing into window panes (and the window panes are just the same for humans!). Have a look at the story (click here).

Any ideas? ;-)
