I really like the concept of highlighting the top technological marvels of the IT world.

How about MAE East and MAE West? They are the heart of the Internet. How about the Bill Gates house? It is the ultimate IT-enabled home for hosting business associates. What about Intel Research Labs? It’s pretty cool to see all those people in white coats building the next generation chips that will power computers, phones, and the Internet.
