I was looking forward to watching this but the delivery is so lame I fear it would just send me to sleep. I certainly couldnt sit through 1 hr 43 mins of it!

I'd like everyone to thumbs up my next statement to record it in imfamy.

Oracle recently sued Google over abusing Patent number: 5893120.

The patent is not lawful. It was issued in neglect of the law. Patents are a legal construct to protect the inventer of a thing, not to create usage monopoly.

You can patent the switches and devices. code is not a device it is a use of a device

Discovering a new use for an invention is not an invention.

Patent number: 5893120 does not create a new thing.

It seems like the audio is just cutting out. It doesn't go faint as it would when stapping away from the mic, it simply cuts of fthen returns. I think there was just something wrong with the audio equipment.

For a high tech company Google records too many of these Tech Talks in such a low tech/ low quality way that makes them nearly useless.

@TheGeek001 I agree, it is really sad and it's not even an old video. The first half is without a doubt very interesting but it's just incomprehensible most of the time. The second half (/talk) starts at 45:20

With all due respect to Danny, the first half of this video is simply unusable.

Too many times there is an interruption of the lecture flow because he stepped away from the microphone by a step or two, making it impossible to hear him.
