Time Magazine’s “Best Inventions of the Year” feature has some really interesting applications / gadgets:
Xerox’s self-erasing paper, on the Environment section, seems to go on a less ambitious direction than our own interactive paper R&D, but nonetheless it could be a very interesting application (I think my desk would be really appreciative if I could reuse the same paper over and over).
