Facebook Monitoring

Create a firewall/nat/sniffer box to put on corporate networks to sniff users' Facebook activity to "find treasures of connected employees and how work gets done informally".

This will work as long as Facebook continues to use http.  When Facebook goes to https, it will be possible to force a downgrade to http to continue to allow monitoring.

Streaming TV Devices

Service to allow people to buy/lease/rent the device that is located in a major metropolitan area and receives over-the-air signals and transmits on internet to subscriber's device(s).  Subscribers would probably want TV, though could also send radio (AM FM), police scanner, GPS, etc.

• Slingbox pushes TV across the web. $150 - $262.
• Boxee provides unification of media sources streaming to a TV. $200.
•  XBMC is like Boxee, and just for PCs with no hardware currently offered. Using cheap hardware (atom/netbook), create a device similar to the Boxee and load one partition with linux+xbmc. Load another partition with another linux for dual boot. Add a hard drive and the device can also be network storage.

Credit Card Bill Pay

Pay recurring or one-time charges through a credit card. The service is expensive.

The basic service costs $29.95 for 12 months. Which is, indeed, less than a cup of coffee every month. But that price is for payments made from checking or savings accounts. If you elect to pay with a credit card, there's an additional fee of 2.45 percent of the amount charged to the card.
