My TED Story

I was introduced to TED.com my senior year of college when a professor showed me the site and specifically, Sir Ken Robinson's first talk. I quickly became a voracious consumer of the talks and greatly admired the organization and what it stood for. I've had the privilege of working for TED since March of 2011, before which I was with Apple business sales for nearly 2 years in Manhattan. Thus far, TED has been everything I could have hoped for, and I couldn't be happier with the turns and twists of life that led me here.

  A reply on Talk: Mikko Hypponen: Three types of online attack

  Jan 18 2012: Hi Josh -- That what to watch next talk is actually Mikko's TEDTalk from TEDGlobal this year, it's a bit longer and is one of my personal favorites, I would definitely recommend checking it out!
  
  I just checked on this video and it does in fact end at 9:23. It appears Mikko get's clipped a touch saying "thank you very much" right at the end.

  A reply on Talk: What we learned from 5 million books

  Oct 25 2011: Hi Petr -- Sorry you had trouble understanding the talk! I would recommend turning on the English subtitles to help facilitate your understanding.
  
  Additionally, the feature you describe is actually already enabled. Within the interactive transcript on the side you can click on specific portions of the text and it will jump you to that location. That works regardless of the language you have selected for subtitles.
  
  If you, or anyone else, have questions please feel free to email contact[at]ted.com.

  A comment on Conversation: If your cells were used to grow an organ in the lab, is it still "your" organ?

  Oct 3 2011: I would say no, if it is intended for someone, it would belong to them once it has been attached but it wouldn't belong to the source.
  
  Declaring ownership because it was created from you is a slippery slope. Are children owned by their parents? If human cloning became a reality, would clones belong to the one being cloned?
