They need to make a TV channel from Ted Videos. I'd start watching it again.

From the site:
Nathan Myhrvold talks about a few of his latest fascinations -- animal photography, archeology, BBQ and generally being an eccentric genius multimillionaire. Listen for wild stories from the (somewhat raunchy) edge of the animal world.

This was just tweeted by BudTheTeacher (http://budtheteacher.typepad.com/ ). http://mashable.com/2008/07/03/youtube-viacom-users/ with another review of the ruling here: http://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2008/07/court-ruling-will-expose-viewing-habits-youtube-us

Bottom line - YIKES!!! You'd better be careful if you watch copyrighted videos on youtube, whether directly or embedded!

I agree with the comments of the author of the first article in that SOMEONE should make sure that the judge who decides such things MUST know what an IP address is. If you do not, then you should NOT rule. The old expression comes to mind, "If you judge, investigate."

Oh my...

After thinking about my last post, I started to think that I had posted it before. So I searched my own blog and sure enough, here it is: http://tipline.blogspot.com/2006/11/tips-richard-baraniuk-speaks-about.html Do you see the date? That was first published in November 2006!!

Oh my... Sorry 'bout that

This one was tweeted out this AM. Here Richard talks about new ideas for textboks - REPLACE them with open information.

Very interesting.

Thanks to those who wrote to tell me that my tinyurl wasn't working. I forgot the .com. ARGH!!

Am I the only one who is grounded by the fact that the Ted Talks videos are just now turning Two years old? One slide in Karl Fisch's "Shift happens" video (http://thefischbowl.blogspot.com/2007/06/did-you-know-20.html)says that it takes only 4 years to reach on audience of 50 million on the Internet. I have to believe that the TED site broke that average in a hurry. All you need is top quality material that appeals to a wide audience and you can hit that 50 million mark in far less time.

http://www.ted.com/talks - if you've not been there yet (and I can't imagine that you have not) then this is a gift.

Around the world right now, one billion people are trapped in poor or failing countries. How can we help them? Economist Paul Collier lays out a bold, compassionate plan for closing the gap between rich and poor.
