  • What better way to study how we eat--from choosing meals, to how much we eat, to who we dine with--than to study us while we eat at a real restaurant. The Netherlands's Restaurant of the Future does just that. The "Living Lab," run by Wageningen University, is outfitted with cameras and scales, and a back room where scientists study every aspect of what visitors do. Anyone can visit the restaurant, but all patrons must sign a research waiver before entering. Check out the restaurant's corporate video (above), or, for a shorter summary of the restaurant, check out NPR.org.

  • Heading to Oz? Before you leave, download Queensland's free iPhone application. The program, which includes a mapping service and several "top ten" lists, is the first iPhone application developed by a state tourism board in Australia.

  • Check out ComeAwayWithMe.co.uk's new London Audio Guide, with detailed audio descriptions of many attractions around London. You can listen to the guide online for free, or download all of the files to any MP3 player for a small fee.
