In-depth CBS report on TED

Well, it took a few months longer than we'd hoped, but finally CBS have posted their filmed report of TED2006. Check it out. It was worth the wait. They took the time to get under the surface of the conference and explain some of its allure.  The film includes appearances by  Al Gore, Tony Robbins, Clifford Stoll, TEDtalks hit speaker Hans Rosling, Matt Groening, Peter Gabriel, Sergey Brin, Larry Page, Meg Ryan, the string quartet Ethel, veteran TEDster Jim Young, 11-year-old violinist Sirena Huang, Thomas Dolby, Eva Vertes, Jehane Noujaim, Reed Hastings, and yours truly, not to mention great shots of the Main Hall and the Simulcast lounge. The reporter is David Pogue, better known for his tech gig over at the New York Times ...and if you watch it all the way through, you'll even see him in action at the piano. Nice work, sir, and thanks for the memory.
