1 - Node "facetime" video

2 - Node serial interface to Arduino et. al.

3 - Kinect in the browser

4 - Gamepad API

5 - Flash on your iPad/Bikeshed animation adaptors

6 - PhoneGap -> Apache Cordova

7 - Emscripten (LLVM bitcode->JS): Ruby/Python in your browser

8 - Desktop Apps (again!): App.js & HTML5, CSS3, Node.js

9 - JS Servers w/ Node: MS Azure

10 - Headless browser (webkit): PhantomJS

The comments are useful too.
