Receipt Scanner
Lose receipts all the time ? The receipt scanner is a tiny scanner that will scan them in and file them by date. Perhaps it will use OCR to recognise the shop you bought from.

A Eureka Moment

Guys like talking crap. And they like talking stats Men like Milner will love this. A Crapometer, this is a device which measures the volume of the crap you spew into the bog. It is simple volume of an iregular shaped object is measured by the amount of liguid it displaces. When we take a shit water is displaced. Our curiosity and bragging rights are never quite satisfied unless we can attach a number to our shit. If we had a digital display on the back of the bog which gave us the volume of our crap and also stored a list of the 10 biggest craps on our high score list, it would be a lot of fun.!
The Dynamic Credit Card

The ubiquitous credit card is as secure as a box of Smarties in a kindergarten. All credit cards should have a dynamic 4 last digits - 16 + 4 = 20 numbers. The last four digits should change along a set sequence which is known only to the card and the card processor. This would change every 10 minutes. When making a purchase whether online or at a vendor : The card number and code would be validated via a secure web service which would authorise or reject it. Only the current generated or previous number would be accepted. Each number would be valid for one purchase only. The credit card could be equipped with a code or finger print recognition which would be needed to generate the number, so if the card was lost or stolen it would be unusable. The card could also have a virtual version which could be installed on authorized cell phones.
