KeyWifi - Internet Access For Everyone On A P2P Mesh Network Of Private Routers
KeyWifi wants to provide internet access to many more people that can not afford it today under the current model. On March 15, 2012 they will expand the potential that an open internet can offer. KeyWifi will do this by using a web-based peer-to-peer internet access platform that allows people to rent out their WiFi signals. No software or hardware is required and connectivity is provided without contracts. KeyWifi was founded by Adam Black.
A user will pay KeyWifi a monthly fee of about $10 for access to the mesh network. Their system will locate and connect to individual local private routers which means that people do not give out their network password to the end user; I was happy to hear this. About two-thirds of the fee is payed back out to the hotspot owners who receive a proportional amount based upon the usage of their connection. A possible road block is that most internet service providers prohibit the sharing of your connection.

Alcogel - Alcohol Filled Capsules
Alcogel (website not live yet) provides alcohol in a liquid capsule. This pill will directly put 190 proof alcohol into your stomach without drinking. No extra calories, carbohydrates, sugars or additives.
There are a lot of issue and concerns that immediately come to my mind. As crazy and dangerous as this sounds the business could take off if it can get past the regulators. The only problem I see from a usability standpoint is that you would have to take more than 12 capsules to get as much alcohol as there is in a 12 oz. beer. I guess I could just wash them down with my beer... oh my... going to need that Alcohoot!
