I have a mashup web app http://tripoptimizer.heroku.com for looking up points of interests (Tourist attractions, Restaurants, hotels, etc) and their ratings and reviews. The technology stack is RoR, jquery, jquery-mobile and PostgreSQL. It uses Yahoo Local Search APIs and Google search APIs.

I also own www.tripoptimizer.com domain.

Let me know if interested.

I am not sure studying things in nature and creating exact models would be a good idea. Imagine trying to model a motor bike or a car by studying Cheetah(Fastest animal on ground). Nature may inspire to model/create useful things.

We also should be careful with Macbook Pros especially the unibody ones...

I think tuning little things or finding right combination of things is right on. For example, if you watch Chef Gordon Ramsay's Restuarant Nightmares TV show, he does the same thing. He comes in to a failing restaurant observes how it is run and tries to change Menu, Interior decoration, etc to make it successful. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gordon_Ramsay

How about the traffic green light displaying seconds before it's going to turn yellow? I think this is feasible because of LEDs usage in the traffic lights.
