Saturn has a new commercial where a college student picks his model and
features on their Web site and a few hours later, a "delivery man" shows up
with the keys in hand much like a pizza delivery.

Personally, I'd like to see more use of Live Picture's software.
Interactive panoramas that let you insert 3D objects, animated creatures,
movies etc. could really help someone see what a house looks like half-way
around the world. I think their Photovista, Object Modeler, Reality Studio,
and Live Image server are some of the most underrated packages around.
