8. 4.Enterprising Dairy Farmer taking his cues from oil giants In a fine example of thinking outside the box in finding new distribution channels, a german dairy farmer, Bruno Stauf, has come up with a novel solution - a 24 hour milk vending machine. Named “Milchtankstelle”, the self-serve filling station eliminates the need for a distributor or retailer to market and sell the milk, creating a return on every litre sold that is larger by nearly 50 cents, while delivering a better (fresher) product. Customers simply bring their own containers or purchase bottles directly from the machine, select an amount and insert the corresponding amount to begin dispensing the milk.

9. 5. Dynamic Billboards Engadget points us to an interesting concept by Research In Motion for a dynamic billboard that can change its message based on fluctuating traffic conditions. The company recently filed two patent applications for the system, which would use sensors to detect when traffic was building up, and present a more content-rich ad. When vehicles are passing quickly, standard only information such as the exit number and name of a gas station or restaurant would be displayed.
