Check out the list put together by the Guardian.
I am particularly liking the FOTOPEDIA app.
"Fotopedia, in cooperation with the UNESCO World Heritage Centre, is proud to present Fotopedia Heritage, which brings together 20 000 photos, illustrating 890 World Heritage Sites and 3000 points of interests, thanks to the contribution of thousands of photographers and hundreds of curators. It is a free application on iPhone and iPad." (source: http://www.fotopedia.com/products/heritage-info)

Should we update our domain name?
"If possible, your domain name should be similar to any business name you have trademarked or registered. IBM, for example, owns the domain name ibm.com. What if you’re IBM Canada? Should you register ibmcanada.com or ibm.ca? Good question. Domain name registry is easy and relatively cheap. It costs about $15 a year to control a domain name, so a company like IBM Canada would want to register both if they are available."

Augmented Reality
Virtual communications, including business cards, etc....
"Don't act too surprised if, some time in the next year, you meet someone who explains that their business card isn't just a card; it's an augmented reality business card. You can see a collection and, at visualcard.me, you can even design your own, by adding a special marker to your card, which, once put in front of a webcam linked to the internet, will show not only your contact details but also a video or sound clip. Or pretty much anything you want.
It's not just business cards. London Fashion Week has tried them out too: little symbols that look like barcodes printed onto shirts, which, when viewed through a webcam, come to life. Benetton is using augmented reality for a campaign that kicked off last month, in which it is trying to find models from among the general population."

The End of Model Making Injuries
We had one at SOM, but only for very small items. It'll be funny when they become the norm, and model making will be the equivalent of today's hand drafting.
We'll be dinosaurs.
