My friends and I at NYC Resistor had an impressive showing at Yahoo's Open Hack Day NYC this year. The Makerbot Team (and fellow NYCRs) came up with an impressive "New York Toast" hack, which involved their Frostruder device and toast. You can read more about that here: http://wiki.makerbot.com/nytoast.
Alicia, Hilary, Diana and I got together to produce the "Delicious Cake" which was a rather remarkable bit of late-night hackery. The cake visually represented the sentiment - postive, neutral, or negative - of keywords as represented on Delicious.com, Yahoo's social bookmarking service. The sentiment was shown as LED "faces" on the cake itself.
You can find out more at my NYC Resistor post on the topic:

Thats really different concept. I think this will be used in future frequently like lie detector technology.
