[SGVLUG] OT: TED talks / hydrogen fuel, etc.

[Emerson, Tom (*IC)]

Someone mentioned playing these on his iPod, so one way is to go to the
iTunes "store" and search for "TEDtalks" (no spaces) -- the audio
podcast list has 60+ episodes, and the video has 101 episodes (all are
free)
 
It's worth noting that "TEDtalks" are distributed under a "creative
commons" "attribution / no derivation" license, meaning you can give
away copies, but must state where you got them from (TED), and cannot
edit/remix/cut/mashup/etc. the files.
 
And with a little digging around, I found the feedburner links:

This looks great.  Does anyone know how to get mp3 versions (podcasts)
of the talks?

I also visited the site.  I had never heard of it.  I saw something
about poverty and went to the Bill Strickland presentation.
Bill Strickland: Rebuilding America, one slide show at a time

Thanks Chris.  I've bookmarked it.

"right now", there is an item on that page labelled "ideas from our
sponsor" which when clicked brings up a standalone window to play the
video.  The discussion is about hydrogen as a fuel and what "we" [as a
world] have to do to make it's use a reality.  Unfortunately, the "link"
is

http://www.ted.com/#

Which you'll note is actually the main page itself -- doing a little
digging into the page source, I found:

http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/KLAUSTOPFER_high.flv

And

http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html, which should load
the player along with the video...

As it is a "sponsored" video, the last minute or so is a BMW ad for
their hydrogen car, which is a typical car advert -- great scenery, zero
information save for the name of the car itself...
