Note to self: When speaking at a podium, don't make clicking noises near the microphone.

TED = Technology, ENTERTAINMENT, DESIGN

if you want JUST "science," go ahead and search for those videos.

are you such a close-minded, self-absorbed ignoramus that you think TED was just made for YOU and what YOU want?

She was nervous guys give the lady a break. It was a bit annoying, but her talk MORE than made up for it. I think she did great.

That clicking is her nervous right hand. Look closely.

Extremely talented, humble lovely lady. Inspirational.

[Stephen Weeks]

very inspirational

I wish there wasn't that clicking. I can't get through the video.

[Kloxboy]

If you mean the cameramen, there are at least 3 different cameras shooting her, I doubt all three cameramen are producing the same noise. As well, the clicking noises are in sync with her movements and gestures (especially noticeable near the half-point of the video).

[UCStudio]

i think the one that record this video that make the click sound..

[madhupramod]

also, be sincere than be serious... :D
