Flash 10 Demo
Grant Skinner (gskinner.com) just recently posted this Flash 10 3D music visualizer demo on his "gBlog". It's crazy awesome, and even after examining the source code, I'm still not sure how it all works.

Kevin Kelly: Predicting the next 5,000 days of the web
Here's a video clip that I ran across earlier today. Kevin Kelly gives a TED talk where he basically shows how the entire internet has basically reached the computing power of a single human brain now.
