One of the most interesting Ted talks I've seen was by Jill Taylor a neuroanatomist who spent her whole life studing heart attacks and strokes. One day she had a stroke and she explains how it feels and how even knowing while its happening there was nothing she could do. Facinating........

OHH and Philip Zimbardo's talk about the basis of Evil, (Conducted the Stanford prison experiment, and he testified in the Abu Ghraib cases of waterboarding and torture in favor of the soldiers) I actually saw this talk first hand its pretty interesting.

TED talk is AMAZING!! I wish that I could go see one live sometime.

My favorites so far (have yet to see them all) are:

1. Juan Enriquez: Tech evolution will eclipse the financial crisis (Temur posted it; amazing speaker and very interesting)
2. Johnny Lee: Wii Remote Hacks (Saleem posted it; I love technology and I had seen Johnny Lee's other videos floating around youtube)
3. Vilayanur Ramachandran: A journey to the center of your mind (Saleem posted it; extremely knowledgeable speaker)
