Entangling 2 different color photons
What I think is interesting about this is that since they are 2 different frequencies it becomes much harder to blame the strange behavior of entanglement on phase coherency. Beware I could still be wrong about that.

How to make something addictive
What is interesting about this video is the theory that if you meet 3 of 6 human criteria you can make something addictive. It has application to designing a game or selling a product.
