We all have them. Those ideas that pop into our heads every so often. Ideas that we wouldn't think about doing anything with, but at the time they sound like the best ones in the world.

An example:
I heard an Ice Cream Van the other day, playing the usual tunes. I thought to myself, 'why can't they be polyphonic?' The range of tunes would then be much bigger.

Great idea, but not really practical or life changing, is it?

So, any strange little ideas from you lot?

When I'm at a bar and everyone but me seems to be getting served I always think why don't they have proper queues like at supermarkets so everyone gets served fairly and in good time.

Of course when there's people at the bar and I walk up and get served straight away I don't have that thought :D

Or they thought they could release any old thing at any price and that all the schmucks who saw the Sony name on it would rush out and buy it no matter what price it was. Arrogance also = bad

Yes, but too much competition and, shall we say, pressure, could be the reason PS3 is letting so many fans down.

Competition is always good no matter what market it is, we've already seen with Microsoft and with Nintendo how a monopoly = bad

and then promptly screw the consumers over with insane pricing making the PS3 look as cheap as chips

"...why won't this bra come off easily!"

But seriously, a 'strange' little idea I'd like, is for all the computer games companies to merge and create one uber colossus console. Or UCC for short.
