An idea a day:
75. Invent an in-door light setting that enable color-changing.
At present, the color effect of your apartment is fixed by the in-house light setting. As the light setting only permit you to have one color, or you could change the color by changing the bulbs.

If a light system that could change color exists, it could enable stylish people/ restaurants/ cafes/ clubs easily match their latest furniture setting with different color effect without changing the lighting system.

It also could match the color with the mood, or apply to yourself the "color therapy". If you feel moody, you could set a bright red/orange background, in order for you to counter-balance the mood.

For photography lover, the darkroom now can be anywhere in your apartment. Your apartment could also be a highly variable workshop for taking photographs, as the light setting now could be a replacement of color-filter of camera, and the color-filter now could be virtually any color.

Funny auto-changing could also be setted, so that it vary with time/outside, when up in the morning, the color could darker, when the night is coming, the color will be changed give a more "morning feel", so the condition throughout the day will be more consistent.

Comments:

I have read some magazine in US, saying that Philips is developing similiar sort of thing as yours, but this is certainly in very very early phase, with only concept/design prototype.

Busy! is the only word.

You know there are more than 300 business plans need to go through every day, like digging gold from a whole pill of shit.

I am not quite sure, but i remember there is a quite big VC firm having one of the director from HKU, with a BA. A very rare specie.
