Participant[quote=saiine]The act of executing is far more important then the actual idea. Everyone has ideas, few execute on them. Even if you have an idea that sounds subpar, or has been done already, just start working on it. Work on it everyday. If you cannot do this, then you don’t want it bad enough.
The part of your idea / business which yields you the most financial gain is seldom in your initial plan anyway. Look at google, microsoft, facebook, zappos.
You need to just start working on something and let it organically mature.[/quote]
I felt you are slightly missing captcha’s point. Although I agree that execution is most important, there are clearly many bad ideas out there upon which most people start their businesses in the most crowded and low prospect areas. The ability to evaluate an idea is also important that you learn to abandon your initial plan when it doesn’t make sense anymore rather than fiecefully trying to “execute” it.

ParticipantOkay, I’m going to give away an idea that I think is great. I have other ideas that are easier to implement, and I like easy, so this one I can let go. It’s probably been thought of before, and I know Sega did it with video games, but I’ve never seen it done quite this way.
You’re at a urinal in the restroom of a bar. In front of your face is a flat screen, arranged in portrait mode, framed in wood or plastic that matches the decor. Maybe there’s a drink shelf below it. On the screen is a related bunch of quick-to-read interesting or stupid blurbs/cartoons such as Weekly World News items, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, unusual world records, news, jokes, riddles, trivia questions, whatever. Maybe there’s a bikini girl in the corner. Scratch that, bad idea 😉 Every minute or so it fades to display something new.
The screen is a cheap LCD faced with Gorilla Glass or similar material. Behind the scenes is a not-quite-dumb terminal (running Android of course) connected to the bar’s wi-fi, displaying images from the company’s web site. The bar owner chooses what categories they want to display, how often it refreshes, etc. via their account on the company’s web site. Maybe it’s a cheap subscription for constantly updated content. Maybe video such as football follies are available for more money.
It would be sales-intensive at first, and I hate sales. All I know is I WANT this over every urinal I use, so someone here needs to get crackin’.

You’re thinking too much like a geek and not enough as a normal person (with all due respect). The majority of people hate technology, and much more so in a bathroom.
Human psychology seeing a TV like device in a bathroom would immediately associate “hidden web cam” with it…The bar owner would get a lot of complaints for it to be taken down….Also, a bunch of drunk folks, would love to etch or fvck with the device…Think all graffiti in the bathroom.
Plus it would require one to plumb electricity to power the screens at each urinal…The same concept would be to get a 52 big lcd tv and sell paid advertisements hung outside of a store window and lease that space. Maybe it would fit in Ginza in Japan or Taipei, but this sort of use probably won’t happen in the states. We’re not “geeky” culture.
