Marketplace for product ideas?

A question to the group,

if i have an idea for a product and have all the UX, branding and spec work completed, but no engineering, how could I go about selling this to somebody or to a company? Is there a marketplace for this type of thing or companies that help product designers sell defined yet unengineered products?'

I"m interested in this type off thing, because I can't say that I'm really interested in starting my own company.

Any ideas?

Ideas for innovation workshop

Hi everyone,

I was selected to be one of the organizer of my company's engineering
off-site this year and one of the themes is "Innovation" - a whole day
is dedicated to it. I am currently the only UEx designer with the
company. The discussions of innovation will revolve around many
topics: technology, process, business and hopefully interaction
design.

WPF Style sheet

I'm hoping the experts from the postings on Expression Blend can educate
me on this. Is their such a thing as a Windows Presentation Foundation
Style sheet?
I have been promoting our product development move towards a standard
CSS for our various apps. I have support from mgmt on this but then they
mentioned they were moving towards development in WPF and to ensure we
also develop a WPF standard. I am puzzled by this. My first question was
isn't their a tool that would take the CSS work and convert it? I don't
want to reinvent the wheel twice.

Thanks for all input.
