Google Research Picks for Videos of the Year
Some examples: Ron Avitzur tells The Graphing Calculator Story [mefi thread], Dr. James Watson on DNA and the Brain, Steve Wozniak talks about founding Apple and Silicon Valley's boom period, Doug Lenat (of Cyc) on Computers versus Common Sense and a talk on The Archimedes Palimpsest [a little info]

That one about computers vs common sense is interesting. Thanks.

How did the subtitles on The Graphing Calculator Story get so incredibly terrible? It's almost as astonishing as the story itself.

If you enjoyed the Lenat video, jouke, you'll probably enjoy these Minsky talks also: The Emotion Universe, Programs, Emotions and Common Sense.

I enjoyed Should Google Go Nuclear?, and Toward the First Revolution in the Mind Sciences.
