Why Do Predictions Capture Our Imaginations?
Sounds possible, but is it really?
If everything wants to talk to you when will you possibly have the time to listen to your own thoughts?
That's just the obvious. I'm sure we can think of more...
The real point though is about belief vs. understanding.
Understanding takes work. It's much easier to follow a beautifully paved path :)

Levitation?
Thinking in Virtual constructs enables physicists to crack the codes previously thought impossible. Ideas that just may allow us to do in Reality what in the past we could only dream up Virtually.
More on levitation and nanomachines from MIT here.

Can Energy Really Be Free?
Whether this seemingly impossible claim is true or not, their effort to stand behind their claims publicly in the face of adversity is admirable at any measure. While the reality may be closer to this AlwaysOn post, I'm still optimistic about their willingness to try against the accepted wisdom of the day [ eventually anyway, since their demo flopped yesterday :( ]. You can see more at the Steorn site. One more free energy video below:

Is Artificial Life the Ultimate Mashup?
Craig Venter shares his research here at the TED conference with some amazing findings. Watch the last few minutes of this video to just imagine the potential of what these artificial lifeforms mean for society, commerce and more...
The most astounding discovery arising from Craig Venter's work is the potential to in effect "mashup" cellular systems (species). Learn more from the Edge site here.

What is Real?
Interesting concepts in this film to show how we create reality, including how we choose to interpret what is shown in this film (this film is not exactly substantiated by the scientific community). To me it brings up an interesting point about the mindspace in which we increasingly dwell and how that creates the desires which will shape our future.
