I *really* don’t get how the Wiimote-hacks-guy made it to that most elitist conference (or more like theater, with cool people telling rich people about their work, to make rich people make feel a little cool) — it’s really not a hack, since the wiimote was just supposed to track points, and he, well, let’s it track points, big deal. It’s of even lower value than Jeff Hans talk, at least that one started the hype (again), but the demos that gave the talk its coolness were all made by his students while he claimed the pride…
Compare these talks to the one by the Microsoft Research guy or the robot-arm-protesis guy…

I haven’t left the ted website since this newspost was made, it’s pretty excellent. Caustically elitist like pascal said, but the talks are just great.
