Nicholas Negroponte speaking at TED about the OLPC project.
Quoted: TED Talks <p><a href="/index.php/speakers/view/id/38" target="_blank">Nicholas Negroponte</a> lays out the details of his nonprofit One Laptop Per Child project. Speaking just days after relinquishing his post as director of the MIT Media Lab, he announces that he'll pursue this venture for the rest of his life. He takes us inside the strategy for building the "$100 laptop," and explains why and how the project plans to launch "at scale," with millions of units distributed in the first seven countries. "This is not a laptop project; it's an education project," he says.</p><p><strong>Contact <a href="http://laptop.org/en/contact.shtml" target="_blank">One Laptop Per Child >></a> <br /></strong></p>

Another item I'm redotting from hahtango's blog. Thanks for the tip! Videos of famous TED (Technology Entertainment Design) presentations are now available free of charge on this page.
Quoted: Each year, TED hosts some of the world's most fascinating people: Trusted voices and convention-breaking mavericks, icons and geniuses. The talks they deliver have had had such a great impact, we thought they deserved a wider audience. So now, for the first time, we're sharing them with the world at large... Each week, we'll release a new talk to inspire, intrigue and awaken the imagination. For best effect, plan to listen to at least three, start to finish. (They have a cumulative effect.) If you have a curious soul and an open mind, we think you'll be hooked...
