www.ted.com Gary Flake demos Pivot, a new way to browse and arrange massive amounts of images and data online. Built on breakthrough Seadragon technology, it enables spectacular zooms in and out of web databases, and the discovery of patterns and links invisible in standard web browsing.tedtalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world’s leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Featured speakers have included Al Gore on climate change, Philippe Starck on design, Jill Bolte Taylor on observing her own stroke, Nicholas Negroponte on One Laptop per Child, Jane Goodall on chimpanzees, Bill Gates on malaria and mosquitoes, Pattie Maes on the “Sixth Sense” wearable tech, and “Lost” producer JJ Abrams on the allure of mystery. TED stands for Technology, Entertainment, Design, and tedtalks cover these topics as well as science, business, development and the arts. Closed captions and translated subtitles in a variety of languages are now available on TED.com, at http Watch a highlight reel of the Top 10 tedtalks at www.ted.com
Last year I asked for a good laptop.
I got a mac book pro as a gift… but i threw it down the stairs because I was pissed off because It was an apple product.
Our brain works with association anyway so in a sense viewing information like this is more natural.
Brilliant idea: I loved the talk and got so excited… went on the website and now I’m pissed off with Microsoft AGAIN:
>> when I clicked Download, I expected to download Piovt, not Microsoft Silverlight!! I did install it in the hope to use Pivot but Pivot is not yet available!!!
This is yet another Mircosoft way to shove down our throat their crap products! What RUBBISH MARKETING! I hate this company’s attitude… why not say upfront on the website: wait till summer for download?
microsoft pivot – “windows xp is not supported”
i’m already starting lose interest!
Recommended System Configuration: Windows 7 with Aero enabled, 2-GHz 32-bit (x86) processor, 2 gigabytes of random access memory.
DANG
The “transcribed audio” at 5:33 hahahahahaha
using XP+Firefox => can’t use it… damn
Excellent observation!
what a waste of space, to save all historys…..
Touche.
It does make me wonder if there is not value in development being shared at TED. Seeing what someone has done with one idea, will sometimes inspire others.
5:35 transcribed audio lol
i agree with you that development is important, but ted is about ideas.
What a beautiful UI
Lol, that’s a good point.
Well, not exactly. You could of course also employ the world sweatshop, like most tagging systems, to do it for you.
Just DL’d the program, and I’m sorry if this offends anyone, but I’ve gota say it. Because this is going to be great for porn browsing.
what a sweaty man
Generalism at it’s finest. Awesome.
can’t wait to look at all the porn sites i visited by categories!
Looking forward to trying this. Very impressive.
信息的统计让隐私更容易暴露
CPU占用非常高相对于chrome与opera10.5
很多功能华而不实
This is a clever UI.
To make a clever UI useful, you need some form of automatic data entry, or a million monkeys typing on a million keyboards.
If his research is conceptual, and all this data was entered by hand? Then this is almost completely useless. If pivot can index & tag data on its own (besides just history and stuff), then it’s revolutionary.
Realistically, you have to program an ‘interpreter’ for each data source, and for that you need a lot of programmers.
Interesting anyway!
If you can’t see the advantage of this program, you’re obviously not writing very many research papers.
useless piece of crap!
Thank you very much, baaxyz
