It was covered in our DSA unit, at least when I took it a couple years back.


That's clearly not been updated. Hastings explicitly mentioned Azerbaijan and Vietnam in the keynote, and there's clearly nowhere near the 130 countries they've just added.


Fascinating. Somehow, I wouldn't have really expected it, but the sheer difference between someone like Eric Schmidt and someone like Tina Fey really made this interesting.

So I ask you: are there any other such Google talks/chats like this worth watching? I believe there was one from a while ago with Obama, but I haven't really heard of any others.


There are over 1000 videos like this in various forms: http://www.youtube.com/atgoogletalks

A lot of them are authors, but there are a bunch of other celebrities, musicians, politicians, and a ton of others. I'd recommend clicking on "Uploads" and then select "Top Rated."


I often wonder to what extent these kind of sites understand that there are many people who will see this behaviour and think "Well, if that's what happens when I pay, I might as well just pirate".

It's undeniable that there are plenty of people who pirate because it's free, and because they can. But if legal, practical alternatives are to survive, even if it's only as they begin, the key shouldn't be profitability, it should be making sure customers enjoy the experience.

Of course, that then leads to Hulu's problem - trying to introduce a paid structure too much too soon.
