#13It is still really disappointing that TED never released the Sarah Silverman talk ( http://techcrunch.com/2010/02/15/the-ted-v-sarah-silverman-f... ). Isn't it their purpose to expose the ideas, and ours to contemplate them?
Their handling of that whole thing was, for me, the breaking point when I could no longer give them benefit of the doubt or any longer take them seriously.

#14It's low on the list, but my favorite is: Ric Elias: 3 things I learned while my plane crashed ( http://www.ted.com/talks/ric_elias.html ) "Ric Elias had a front-row seat on Flight 1549, the plane that crash-landed in the Hudson River in New York in January 2009. What went through his mind as the doomed plane went down? At TED, he tells his story publicly for the first time."
"Don't argue about things that don't matter with the people that matter". Powerful words there.

The great thing about HN is that it provides an opportunity to do the opposite.

I was in the audience at the time. It was awful.
I'm glad comedians are trying to reclaim the term "retard" but I had no context for it and it just seemed inappropriate.

#18Does anyone know of a way to keep synching all the TED videos as and when they are uploaded? My goal is to maintain a local copy on my machine so that I can view them whenever I like. Any downloaders that can do the job?

#19i can't help but feel that ted is all about the elite talking down to the rest of us.
