  1. A farmer in Brazil developed the same idea and now, not only did he plant an entire tropical forest, he also grows and sells one of the best cocoa and cofee in the world.

  2. I did a workshop in computer network and was amazed to find that most of the internet (+80% sites and servers) use Linux... And it is mindblowing simple and works beautifully well. Better than Microsoft or Apple.

  5. They transplanted gut bacteria from a skinny rat to a fat one and vice-versa, and the skinny rat became fat and the fat one became skinny... That's how important gut bacteria is important to us.

  8. A great technology/history lesson from the actual person who actually did it... Thanks TED.

  9. A really interesting Talk. Just a bit too short.
    48
  10. One man's vision for the people's benefit, working to come true... That's what politics should be all about.
    42
  11. Multiple personality disorder taken to the extreme. Hehe. This was funny, insightful, interesting, and amazing. Great TED.

  12. Damn that was a good talk. I'm impressed.

  13. My grandmother has alzeimer, and thanks to this man, and other like him, maybe when I'm a grandfather...I won't. :)

  14. "If you wanna change the world, climb up the food chain and change it from the top." - wise words... From Wolverine.

  15. You did not need a study to prove this. We see it everyday. Still, I don't believe money makes you mean. I believe mean people get more money. You get to #1, not by being better than, but by reducing, inferiorize or destroying #2. Like a friend of mine once said: "Money doesn't change people, it reveals then".

  16. This is simply Racketeering.The problem is that (like everything else in America) jails are a bussiness. For jails to be profitable there must be criminals. To have criminals there must be crime. And if there is no crime then they must "criminalize" social behaviour... Specially from those who are unneducated and/or cannot afford to defend their rights. Ence, this state of things.

  17. Short, interesting, entertaining. All ingredients of a good TED. And she even keept all those teenagers engaged in the topic. Good call! :)

  18. Careful a big pharmaceutical company doesn't steals your idea/invention.
    24
  19. I have the ability to do nothing for hours and hours...
    24
  20. The more I learn about sex, the more I know I'm never gonna get any of it. :(

  21. I think this would be really useful for something like Google Earth. You could "walk" thru a street, a merket, or location, and ear, not only a melody from the place/country, but also the "urban" sounds that are there (people talking, sellers, cars, birds, dogs, etc).

  22. Many congrats to this woman and all her work. Great talk!
    21
  23. HAHAHAHAHAHA

  24. And this is why jocks have small brains :)

  25. A nice subject, but the presentation was a bit dull. Still, I was interested enough to see the all thing.
    18
  26. "Bacteria can make you sexier or smarter." - I think she is using the stuff right now.
    18
  27. Those are some pretty good ideas... Give this man a cigar!
    18
  28. We have ridiculous entertainment, scripted conflict driven reality shows, and overlly violent programs...so, why not?
    18
  29. A great talk by a great storyteller... And about clouds, none the less. Loved it! :)
    17
  30. Lazy people have the best ideas to save time.

  31. He has 4/3 relation with his hair ;)

  32. This is just so awesome, the medical industry will never allow it.
    16
  33. "dignity doesn't wait for better times"- powerful.

  34. No. Payment is low. E.g.: Hollywood CG blockbusters pays minimum wage to graphic artists worldwide working on triple A movies. Studios open and close everytime and artists travel (sometimes) worldwide to get a job, same goes for musicians and sound design. Lead directors/composers in the industry can survive quite well, but the bolk of the work is still done by new/naive/underpayed staff. There is a Documentary about the studio that did "Life of Pi" (who won an Oscar, while the people that worked on it where protesting outside) but had to file for bankrunpcy.

  35. Give this guy the Nobel Peace Award. :)

  36. Nuclear bombs, bio-weapons, epidemics, global warming, a new ice age, the shifting of the magnetic field, zombie uprising and even alien invasion...all were seen has the end of the world scenarios, yet no one suspected the smiley man coming to shake hands giving you everything in exchange for nothing. The world nearly ended because us (me included) have a dark seed in our hearts that tells us that we need to be above the rest. Our human greed is our greatest enemy...and we need to stop it.

  37. Tuff crowd... This is a really great, great idea. I have been trying to expand my languages and have found asian or arabic to be very hard, not so much in speech, but in structure and characters because they are very diferent from my native language. But with this... This is awesome!
    15
  38. Normal people are waaaaaaay overrated. lol :D
    14
  39. My God! America is actually learning something! lol Joking aside, I think we are heading for a middle term. Dictatureships need flexability. And democracies need rules. My only concern is that this is only being done for profit and NOT for the individual wellbeing. The human evolution needs a better path than that.

  40. This was quitte frightning. Amazing and really interesting. But still frightning.

  41. "Oh, no! It's available worldwide thanks to 3D printing and it's open-source! Curse them!" - says every pharmaceutical company everywhere. lol

  42. I believe the real problem in 'merica is that they criminalized too many human behaviors (searching food, clothes, shelter, etc.) and do not do a good job at preventing such states (some even call it socialism, and fear it). This is, however, a really great tool for law & order. I sure hope they can implement it and expand it over the next years, or it is the young who will pay the price.

  43. This is a great idea, given by a robot. :P
    12
  44. "It takes a village to raise a child." Amen.
    12
  45. A most enjoyable and funny Talk about insects and parasites...amazing!
    12
  46. I really love these types of projects. i wish I could work for such a company designing prostethics for kids, creating designs like Ironman, or LOR elvish-like, or other cartoon cooler designs that children wouldn't be afraid or teased for using. Instead they'll be "that's so cooll" :)

  47. 2:55 30 seconds... Wow. And I thought I was shallow.
    11
  48. This guy said more in 4 minutes then others (in TEDtalks - also) do in 20. The other guy may have saved the dog, but he's not here.... The guy who got the shoes is. Brilliant!

  49. It is a shame more people don't know more languages because this is one great Talk.

  50. We fish too much, we agriculture too much, to have too much food, to eat too much, to have too early health problems, to then take too much drugs, and end up dying too early... Why? Because in ALL these stages someone makes too much money, that's why.
