Yup. I've read 'stuff' like that too. Basically, they're traveling away from each other at about 9/10's the speed of light and if you influence one of the particles (cause it to flip with magnets) the other will do the same. Now, the question is, "what sort of communication is going on between these two" and whatever it is, it has to be traveling well above the speed of light.
There's an interesting article in this months Discover magazine by John Wheeler, titled, "Does The Universe Exist If We're Not Looking?" It deals with human conciousness influencing the future as well as the past. Interesting reading.
