    A comment on Talk: Cynthia Schneider: The surprising spread of "Idol" TV

    Nov 13 2009: Wonderful talk, Cynthia! Every TV producer should watch this!

    As an entertainer and filmmaker, this inspires me to always consider whether my art is providing pleasure to the individual or bringing people together to share laughs and excitement. After all, it is the happiness derived from shared entertainment experiences that brings us together. Evidently, "us" has become universal in its nature!

    A comment on Talk: Marc Koska: 1.3m reasons to re-invent the syringe

    Oct 22 2009: "I thought this was unacceptable, so I decided to do something about it."

    This phrase always seems to lead to groundbreaking, new ideas. Find something unacceptable, and do something about it! Brilliant and simple.

    A comment on Talk: Itay Talgam: Lead like the great conductors

    Oct 21 2009: Definitely one of the highlights from TEDGlobal. This talk fit perfectly with the theme of revealing the Substance of Things Not Seen.

    Itay has successfully revealed a hidden substance that most of us overlook. Now, watching conductors lead an orchestra inspires new, meaningful thoughts. Newly acquired tools for identifying deeper meaning, such as those Itay provided us in this talk, permanently change the way we look at the world around us.
