They messed up the link in the article.

Not just full physics simulations, even something simple like a bouncing ball. Or you need an npc to throw a projectile so that it hits you, smoothly rotate a camera to aim at something, find the closest point on a path to your current position....

This, maybe? I still think of it whenever I hear mention of population growth predictions.

A lot of the best answers have already been given, so to be different I'll add Cory Doctorow's "Little Brother". Technically it's a more upbeat book than 1984, but it's more relevant to today's society, giving it more impact.

It seemed to keep hinting towards clever and cute plot twists and resolutions (which you'd expect since it's pitched as a Young Adults book) but things kept resolving more realistically.

Oh and a some of Bob Shaw's work (particularly short stories) were pretty dark in tone.

Unfinished Swan shows that there's no single good answer to this.

There was some pixar movie about fish....

It's usual to only name buildings after people who are dead.

I can't find the story now, but about a year ago a game publisher accused a reviewer of not playing a game much and used the server logs of the game to detail what the reviewer had and hadn't done.

The Nintendo President's attitude might be the way to save 3D: it's a good effect to improve immersion, it's no big deal, you can turn it off if you want.

That's the way it will become mainstream, not "YOU MUST BUY A NEW TV THIS YEAR!"

There's certainly less of a push now. At E3 last year it seemed that you couldn't see a game without having to put on special glasses.
This year, I was only reminded of 3D when I saw the Virtual Boy at the Videogame History Museum

Forget that. Can it display the title of a podcast that's even moderately long?

Oh, now you mention it, I think I once saw some book about a 'low crab' diet.

"Watch out! He's using 'Gamer Code'!"

TiVo has a skip back button, and a "skip forwards to next mark" (e.g. 15 minute interval) button. But there's a 'cheat code' to permanently switch the 'forwards' button to do a 30-second skip. Maybe that was done so that they could claim that they don't provide it as a standard feature.

I'm sure if it's moved, the Historical Sticklers Society will make sure that it's replaced with a replica.
