TED's a non profit organisation, nor are the speakers paid..i don't know who else might be making money off this. All the talks are also available online to watch and download, that's very rare in itself. Keeping it technical would only mean having a very narrow audience.

That's awesome (and an achievement) that you've gone to 7 TEDs. It might sound like a longshot, but i'm going to try and be invited to one of the TED conferences and have my money to pay for it as well.
I bet it's a good experience being there listening to profound speakers hand down so much knowledge.
I must admit though, some of the talks kind of seem pointless to me (the one based on pictures from north korea, or the satirical song stype jane and jill show i think)

Thanks! And please ask them if they could invite their first subscriber next year ;-)

I'll pass your question along to the TED leaders!

Thanks for the tip. I will check it out. I never saw Ramachandran life, but i would love to.
Why doesn't TED have a channel on here???

Yes, he was a smash on Saturday morning. His brain research is fascinating. Keep an eye on the TED website for the release of the conference videos online.

Am I the only one that suspects this conference is just a way to ask for vc money? It's sort of interesting, but not technical in any way, and certainly not very scientific. I have to wonder who is the audience for this stuff? It may be good to show it to kids to develop an interest in Science/Technology but otherwise it seems like prostitution of Science to folks who cant possibly understand the subject on any useful level to contribute except for giving money.

Interesting point of view. I've been to 9 TEDs and it's definitely not a VC hustle venue. "Presenting science for an intelligent lay audiences" has been a great challenge for the past hundred years and TED does it well. The point is to see big trends, not in-depth exploration of single topics. Ever read magazines like Popular Science or Discover, or the Science Times section of the New York Times? Thanks.

Oh I just spent the last few hours watching the TED director's video channel. Your vid popped up after Hans Rosling's 06/07 videos, how cool that somebody I (kind of) know was there and made a vlog about it.

The TED channel is a treasure chest, isn't it? As you saw, Rosling stole the show both last year and this. Thanks for the comment.
