Open Sourcing Innovation

Posted by michael on from the dream-big dept.

Super_Z writes "Reading an old issue of The Economist, I came over this - whynot.net - a forum for ideas - effectively open sourcing innovation. Doing so, these ideas can hopefully be adapted faster and on a broad basis. Now if I can only get someone to take up and produce my radarguided laser mosquito trap."

    Why was this modded down? This sounds like someone here who was modding is a racist bigot. Sad in this day and age.

    Sort of like those animal tranquilizer guns. You could hang around Starbucks looking for anybody who looks like an HR type or hiring manager. Anybody driving a BMW is fair game. Then when they're stunned (you still use the tranquilizer) and in a highly suggestive state, give them your elevator speech. Use RFID tags so you can track your resume. I have a suspicion that they just stash resumes in an unused utility closet, like those letter carriers who are discovered with 6 tons of undelivered mail in their garage.
