I also visited the site. I had never heard of it. I saw something about poverty and went to the Bill Strickland presentation.<br>Bill Strickland: Rebuilding America, one slide show at a time<br><a href="http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/209">http://www.ted.com/talks/view/id/209</a><br>

"right now", there is an item on that page labelled "ideas from our<br>
sponsor" which when clicked brings up a standalone window to play the<br>
video. The discussion is about hydrogen as a fuel and what "we" [as a<br>
world] have to do to make it's use a reality. Unfortunately, the "link"<br>
is<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.ted.com/#" target="_blank">http://www.ted.com/#</a><br>
<br>
Which you'll note is actually the main page itself -- doing a little<br>
digging into the page source, I found:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/KLAUSTOPFER_high.flv" target="_blank">http://static.videoegg.com/ted/movies/KLAUSTOPFER_high.flv</a><br>
<br>
And<br>
<br>
<a href="http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html" target="_blank">http://static.videoegg.com/ted/flash/fullscreen.html</a>, which should load<br>
the player along with the video...<br>
<br>
As it is a "sponsored" video, the last minute or so is a BMW ad for<br>
their hydrogen car, which is a typical car advert -- great scenery, zero<br>
information save for the name of the car itself...<br>
