EdinburghTVFest - Eric Schmidt delivers the James MacTaggart lecture

[panthongw]

Does he have notes are anything?? If not, this guy is amazing!

[TheNob089]

Great! Thank you Mr. Schmidt for the Freudian slip near after "55:45":

'Your independent producers are famed for their entrepreneural zeros ...' (55:58)

Yes, indeed they are! So much crap you can find on TV today. :D

[76cxy]

why?I couldn't see anything.//unlucky

[philguybird]

If anyone is interested to learn more about Lyons involvement in creating the World's first office computer I urge you to check out LEO: The First Business Computer

[sm1tty5569]

lol did he start repeating himself at 1:15:00 ? (1hour 15mins)

[Jonathanmarks]

and we can't yet like the video because according to YouTube the event hasn't taken place yet, Hope they fix it fast.!

[Jonathanmarks]

seems strange that the video hasn't been edited, so you have to scroll though 35 minutes of black screens and music before the man speaks.

[Sivels]

A magnificent individual, I like listening to him speak!

[Pickledeggs3000]

Skip to 0:36:00 for the start (36 minutes in)

[MiguelAlonsoGarcia]

@Pickledeggs3000 NEIN...it starts at 8:30.

[Sivels]

It starts at 27:25.

[Stubie501]

Hope that convinces uk broadcasters to get on board with Google TV when it its the UK

[Funnergoat]

Why not have the Q&A now instead of getting drunk

[MajicF]

So to summarise.. "quit moaning and get in the boat"

[Funnergoat]

Well, that's a wrap.

[ytsumeetsharma]

awesome!

[willjcroz5]

U.S has less regulation but ends up paying a price with channels like Fox news

[lakeuk1]

BBC and Google could teams up and give cheap android tablets for our kids to learn programming on

[dabotsonline]

@lakeuk1 Similar concept to the BBC Micro?

[Javiar80]

@lakeuk1 whats wrong with existing PCs?

[Equidem]

@lakeuk1 Tablets for programming? No sir!

[irdial]

@lakeuk1 BBC doesn't have any money, other than what they steal from the public. They cannot team up with anyone to give anything to anybody without stealing. If children want to learn programming, they need to get their parents to buy them a computer instead of an XBox or Wii. Giving computers away doesn't make people into programmers or even encourage them to start.

[MOBiL4u]

@lakeuk1 Kids can already learn programming on cheap Android tablets using apps such as "Zed Ex" (Sinclair ZX81 emulator) and "BASIC! + SQL". Of course I would not mind if they could get tablets for free and there would be better apps for teaching programming.

[Funnergoat]

Bah! (thanks)

[garyarlen]

NOT YET

[Funnergoat]

Was there explicit mention of Google TV?

[Funnergoat]

Ah, OK, Thanks guys

[lakeuk1]

Funnergoat - TV industry doomed ;)

[Funnergoat]

:(

[Funnergoat]

Can someone summarise his points in the last 10 mins

[5mistry]

your connection

[Gcheckout]

yeah im watching - loving it! i dont think 'total views' includes live figures so prob quite a few of us on this :)

[Funnergoat]

Did it stop or is it my connection

[thisandthatandthable]

@lakeuk1 doubt it - 7,748 *total* views to date.

[lakeuk1]

Are there many of us watching this?

[thisandthatandthable]

he's still a CompSci guy in the world of telly, which makes me laugh

[MajicF]

Nexus S

[Funnergoat]

Or possibly Prime

[Funnergoat]

Nexus S?

[Funnergoat]

If he overdoes it he'll make the media relationship worse not better

[MajicF]

Just needs the drum roll and cymbal

[Funnergoat]

The Schmidt standup show

[willjcroz5]

Scotland, the home of Haskell :-)

[willjcroz5]

is this a side swipe at Google's privacy issues?

[shuadean]

i mean "humour" ?

[Funnergoat]

Yes. I'm sorry.

[shuadean]

is this british humor?

[Funnergoat]

Why can't Schmidt introduce Schmidt. :(

[MajicF]

*claps*

[5mistry]

bskyb ftw!

[willjcroz5]

[CDE300]

[dancrouchend]

You see this a Catchup medium. Can't do Live!

[thebigmarvinski]

[garyarlen]

Betting pool on when it REALLY starts?

[mokkawokka]

He's putting the batteries in the new Google TV set.

[CDE300]

[Funnergoat]

Maybe Schmidt got lost again

[CDE300]

I need more popcorn, I'll be back

[MajicF]

Eventually :)

[CDE300]
