Why wouldn't a hacker just sign up and take the best idea they could find?

It would be cool to have good ideas sent to my inbox at all times. I don't know why someone would just give their ideas away though.

Yeah, that's bad positioning. Presumably they connect you with people who have ideas and who can help build it, sell it, finance it, etc.
I'd focus less on the idea... (not b/c someone is going to steal it, but b/c it doesn't really matter) give some idea of the space but if you really want to connect with a potential co-founder you have to be able to explain your experience, skill set, etc.

Is it necessary to use the word "rock star" at all?
Things this is missing: Privacy policy, ability to search or differentiate, proof of security, testimonials, terms and conditions, proof that there's any actual people in the database.

Pluses: excludes job seekers!

Interesting sidebar: "We research each seeker request and only send you the best ones." I'm sniffing a discrimination lawsuit in the making.

It's a private service that specifically states it's serving as an editorial filter for ideas -- how is there a discrimination lawsuit in the making?
This is a great idea. FYI, the site does not seem to render properly on mobile devices (tested on Android's native browser and Dolphin Browser HD).
I predict: sausage party of non-hackers.
I don't like the fact that they're demanding my e-mail id even before they demonstrate their usefulness.
