There are a lot of tripod threaded base units for bicycles, but I really like the ones that are easily removable, since you could also use them as mounts at your destination: http://amzn.to/jomhF8

Pair that with something like theglif.com, and perhaps a rubberband to reduce anxiety of the phone flying free…

In terms of dedicated solutions, I'm not a huge fan – mono-purpose is lame in cooking and film – but you might at least get some good visuals and potential search keywords from here: http://www.mountguys.com/product…

I'd only use a rig like that on a road bike – for off road, you really need a good dedicated helmet mounted cam – with higher framerate recording, lots of built-in jitter reduction, etc. I recommend both the Contour and GoPro camera lines – the GoPro has a nice "upgrade" feature in that you could eventually mount two together, and record your rides in 3D.

How can I mount an iPhone on a bicycle so I can video record a bike ride?

I cannot think of a single legitimate case in which you would want to do so. Part of being an adult is to let other people live with their decisions, even the ones you think are bad.

Let me be clear: there are circumstances in which publicly airing your knowledge may be warranted, such as to give evidence that the person in question is lying about their STD status or something, but you must in such cases be willing to "out yourself" as well – at least to those who you see as the next potential victim(s). But, again, that's not something that should be done casually or anonymously. Same thing goes if you're a direct participant in one of the relationships "being cheated on".
(Or, indeed, being the cheater, and just trying to stay ahead of the news cycle.)

If you're an outsider looking in, you may also have simply stumbled on a privacy-minded polyamorous relationship of some type… If so, your imagined "neener-neener" moment probably won't be taken as intended – and should they ever find out who the anonymous party is, well, you're not likely going to be anyone's moral hero or anything (the fact that you would go through with it leads me to believe you're the one who has trouble keeping secrets, so be careful if you do decide to plunge ahead with such folly).

On a more general note – despite the lack of privacy and respect for the non-professional lives of public figures, in general "regular people" do still highly value friends and family who can hold confidences, without betraying their trust. Be one of those people, and your life will be far more thrilling and rewarding than being the "unseen relationship sniper" who poses questions like these.

How can I let a woman know that her infidelity to another man is no longer a secret, and do so anonymously?

It depends. Certainly, playing online games with your partner, and "doing sex talk" either via the online interface, or via more traditional means (speaking across the room/down the hall, over the phone, or for slower online games, via postal mail exchange) is perfectly acceptable.

Assuming you mean "doing sex talk" outside your relationship, with someone you know only online… That's a bit more complicated, and perhaps impossible to definitively answer. Rather, if it feels like cheating to you, and you aren't willing or able to clarify it with your partner, then it's cheating. Cheating is not a specific act, a threshold of intent, or anything similar. It's simply "breaking the rules of the game".

Hopefully you're playing a game where everyone involved has read all the rules – and in the best case, where the rules allow for all manner of fun sensual expression, including "doing sex talk", at least with each other.

Is doing sex talk on online games considered cheating?

Paper prototype can mean a lot of things. Most online sites/apps, for example, have real-world analogs. Why not try running your tech startup concept/algorithm/business process as a live/in-person/brick and mortar solution, even for a few weeks?

Record video, get testimonials and detailed feedback during the "paper-testing", and afterwards. Show how your processes improve efficiency or customer satisfaction levels versus another "old school" analog process, or even your future tech competitor(s).

And as everyone else said, if you can find a way to generate actual revenue while doing this, that will go a VERY long way toward convincing investors – at least those with more open minds and wallets.

How can I get an idea funded with only a paper prototype?

Because of the secretive nature of search scoring algorithms, it'll be hard to find a lot of hard science that is also current. Things change very quickly in the space, the best you can hope for are informed opines based on results. Those aren't going to be as rigorous as studies in academia, and since the described techniques actually work, they may not be freely available.
