    In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

    Very nice, Jer! I'm in a creative industry that just also happens to deal with a ton of data. You've given me (us) a lot to think about.

    In it's usually "this is a wonderful thing and the only one like it" lies of Apple, Hypercard was not "the last program to ship on a public computer was designed for the users of a computer to make programs with it". People program their computer every day. Even Windows has vbs scripts built in, for example.

    Hypercard the last application shipped with a commercial computer that allows the user to write programs? What about Excel?

    AutoHotKey is the new HyperCard. It should be standard on every machine in my opinion.

    I miss Hypercard, it seemed back then that people would be more active but we are mostly passive users of software... shame.

    He reminds us that our data is ours. We might be pirating music and movies, but we are having ALL of our data (which is our intellectual property) pirated.

    As with pretty much everything related to Steve Jobs, he didn't actually invent it.

    It's just putting the right parts together in the right order. Nothing is truly original, and I don't think it's fair to expect that.

    Invention is the "right order". Same as a stone was not made by man but mother nature, however the first house of stones wa obviously invention

  • @Talshere88
    @Talshere88 12 років тому

    If by Steve Jobs outfit you mean sensible jeans and a jumper, then yeah. Then again, I'm not sure Id call that Steve Jobs outfit as a pose to "smart casual". Im fairly sure Jobs didnt invent smart casual so......
