News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

IMHO The selection is rather poor. 4 of the 10 speeches are regarding a simple technical product. While they might be cool, touchscreens and Wii remote hacks are not going to change the world, while many other talks do just that. Only 3 or 4 of the talks are actually thought-provoking, and having seen almost all talks I can think of at least 10 that were more inspiring.

It's the top 10 videos by pageviews.

Several of those (3,8,9) are among the first videos released. People (like me) that have stumbled onto TED recently and start from the beginning will view those first. Also, the iPhone, Photosynth, and WiiMote probably come up in searches because they have Google juice.

I discovered TED talks on the day of the iPhone keynote, searching for more info about multi-touch. So I would guess that video got a lot of its hits from other people doing that.
